PROPERLY PROUD OF HOTEL
Citizens OF Alexandria, La, Have
Right to Boast Of Their Rag
nificcnt Caravansary.

Alexandria, La. Is known through
the big hotel. Strangers always re-
mark the incongruity Of the metropol-
itan cdiiicc apparently fallen by acci-
dent into this quiet little plnce.
Ii seems that in AlcXandria's ante
hotel days. wealthy man and his
small dog were stopping at the town
inn. one day the innkecper and guest
had il lively argument over the dog. It's
owner replied that he and his dog
would not be among those present ut
the inn in the future and departed
proudly, intiEating darkly that the
inukccper would be- sorry. He then
made good his threat by building II
hotel such as Alexandria had never
dreamed of seeing and here dog and
master took up their residence ana
gathered to themselves all the tran
silent trade of the town.
Alexandria wears it's hotel proudly
tribe Sclf-consciously. II Is the
shOU place of the town and its as
sertive stone grandeur commands re-
spoct and Difference A town mat
boasts a hotel incloSing marble halls
ending in a grand staircase and a
Spanish patio adorned with fountain
as an extra attraction must assume
an mir of dignity in keeping with It's
Importance.
AleXandria's other claim to notice
is the fact that only Il few years ago
the Louisiana Legislature conducted a
series Of spirited arguments as to the
removal of the state capital from
Baton Rouge to Alexandria. In the
end Alexandria lost out ana WAS
forced to console itself With the fame
it acquired from its biz hotel.
