IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Apartments for Bachelors.

The city of Birmingham has more un- married young men in proportion to It's population than any city in the south." said a bachelor
 These young men come from all parts of this state and from the bordering states in the hopes of securing positions with the big corporations or in the stores and offices of the city
 "As a rule the salary of these men runs from s60 to s9o a month, and their board and lodging costs from ssO to so a month.
 ITO accommodate these young men an apartment house is necessary and 1t would pay good interest on the investment In New York such apartment houses are common and have proved a great sue cess to the investor and a boon to the tenant.
 Most young men like to have a room to themselves and like to furnish 1t ae- cording to their taste and ability The apartment house affords the bachelor the opportunity to gratify his tastes in these particulars and gives him place which gets nearer to deserve the name home than does the room Tn the boarding house which is shared by others and with whom he has no desire to associate.

Famous snrlnos.

Among the great sayings of Americans consider the phrase. Millions for de- fense, but not one cent for tribute as the greatest" said student of history. "and yet 1t Is surprising to think how few people know the author of the phrase and the circumstances Of its origin
 T mentioned the phrase few nights ago fin pretty large company of men and women, and then. by way of testing their knowledge, asked who was the au- thor of 1t, and when and where it was used The general opinion leaned towards Patrick Henry; others guessed Washing ton, others yet Benjamin Franklin, but not one guessed right.
 T will not tell the public now who is the author of the phrase. While persons are looking 1t up they will find many more things worth knowing. I think very en- joyable winter evenings could be spent in discussing aNd searching for the say ngs of great men,"
