That the perfect man is susceptible
to the rays OF the Colorado sun IN
February has been demonstrated by
Prof. Max Kahn, the exponent of hy-

Prof Kahn.

Of Bear creek canon last Sunday,
when the sun was warm and the heart

suit that he is today sunburned from

were silenced In the shady spots by
the touch administered at night by
Jack Frost. Kahn brayed the atmos-
pherlc chills, clothed according to the
dictates of fashion in Father Adam
time and INDUCED in a sun bath for
five hours. To think that while the

A friend in the city received n let
ter this morning from NJ. II. Loefiler
the popular clothing man. who left
the city a few days ago for Chicago
and other eastern markets to get n
line of goods for the coming season.
When he wrote Mr., Loefner was in
Chicago and he states that he found
the big town by the lake very. very
busy and to give an idea how lively
things are down in that part of the
country he writes that he visited FIVE
OF the leading theatres one night and
was unable to get seat at the even
ing performance OF any of them.
MIR. Loemer writes that what little
spring goods that are being display
ed show decided tendency, as far as
hats are concerned. toward the high
telescope and Fedora hats In tans,
browns. pearl and light gray. with
heavy bands and binding leading.
Long overcoats will be popular, form
fitting in Paddocks and French backs.
Undercoats will still be long with
all good dressers, with open lapels.
no vents and greys are the leading
colors, in fact, MIR. Loefler finds, that
everything points towards greys, ex-
eept quite sprinklinE of browns in

The members of the Baptist church
Will hold q meeting next week for
the purpose of considering the mat
ter of erecting n fine new church
building. From what tho Sentinel
can learn the great majority OF the
members are in favor Of such step
and there is but little doubt that in n
short time work will be started on n
new, modern and beautiful edince.
As previously announced several
members OF the church have an
nounced their intention Of making
individual subscriptions of 81 goo. 90
each to the building fund.
The Baptist congregation has
grown with rapid strides undor the
pastorate Of Rev. II. A. Miller. and
the church today has one of the
strongest memberships in the city.
The congregation has outgrown the
present church building and certain
ly a new one is badly needed.
