The Cabildo
p .litH A P S uo building In New Or-
* leans bolds more Interest for the
strange* that, the Cabildo—that solid,
dignified structure of unquestioned
ancient origin, built of adobe and shell
lime, two stories high with a munsard
roof.
The guide Informs us that It was so
named from tbe municipal council
which sat here under Spanish rule
when It was tbe government house or
palace of Justice and that It was "put
! up" In 1795.
A tablet explains that here In 1803
the formal transfer cf the Province
? of Louisiana from Spain to France,
also from France to the United States,
took place; that the Marquis de La
| fayette resided her In 1825 as a guest
of the city, also that later the main
, room on the second floor was used by
the Supreme Court of Louisiana. In
this same room, It is said, was held
the flrst Protestant church service
conducted in the state of Louisiana.
The courtyard was used as a prison
yard for more than a century. The
remains of the old pillory may be seen
as well as the bullet holes In tbe
walls — executions having occurred
here as late as 1836.
This historic buildlnfe also played a
prominent role In more recent days.
Here a reception was given to Presi
dent McKinley In 1901, and the cen
tennial celebration of the Louisiana
purchase was held In 1903.
Still well preserved, this old build

How many people you know end their colds with Bayer Aspirin!
And how often you’ve heard of its prompt relief of sore throat or
tonsilitis. No wonder millions take it for colds, neuralgia,
rheumatism ; and the aches and pains that go with them. The won
der is that anyone still worries through a winter without these
tablets ! They relieve quickly, yet have no effect whatever on the
heart. Friends have told you Bayer Aspirin is marvelous; doctors
have declared it harmless. Every druggist has it, with proven direc

“Oh, come now," replied his friend.
“You’re spry enough but Its absurd to
