Bachelors Are
Getting Ready

Since the Denver papers have
advertised that they will hav g
twenty of Denver's fairest damsels
as their guests in this city for a
ten day vacation, there has been a
very noticeable sprucing up of sew
eral of our masculine citizens. We
notice that Charlie Christensen is
cultivating that winning smile
that never fails to please, and John
Morrow is practicing that cute
little wink from the corner of his
eye that has a very fetching effect,
and Scott Griswold can be seen
posing in that nice pleasant way
of his that is sure to create last
ing impression and cause violent
f1utter of feminine hearts. slack"
Thomas will, perhaps, overcome
his extreme modesty and defy all
the dangers of leap year, and Art
Lugg, if he is not carefully guard
ed by some of our home maids,
will be carried off bodily by some
Denver lassie. Den. Harrington
has that serious look that denotes
a sort of now-er-never action on
his part.
Fred Stroehle will, of course, be
one of the most sought after of
any in the bunch, for in addition
to his good looks and pleasant
manner he is an excellent musician
and an elegant dancer, SO with all
of these qualifications Fred will
be perfectly irresistible. Fred
Leach is in the same class with
Stroehle but we expect that he
will be more closely guarded than
Stroehle, but it is not alone the
single men who are looking for
ward to this vacation, for there are
several married men, whose names
Of course we will not mention, who
have already signiied their will
lingness for their wives to visit
the old home back in Missouri,
Illinois, Kansas, or any other old
state just SO they go, but listen to
us: Don't get too gay without
consulting Fred There for he will
be the belle of the ball.

ASSOCIATION GIRLS
PRAYING FOR RAIN
Tennis Courts at Sixth and Franklin
Streets are in Bad Shape from
Dry Weather.

The girls who have taken out men,
berships in the Y. w. G. A. tennis as
ISOLATION are praying for rain these
days. II the rain does not come, the
association courts can never be put
In good shape, and the girls money
will have been spent in vain. 1t is all
on account of the extremely dry
weather, which has dried and baked
the earth, and caused the surface of
the courts to crumble into dust on
which it Is impossible to play tennis.
The association tennis courts are To-
Gated at Sixth and Franklin streets.
This spring in order to level the rough
surface, the ground was plowed up
and resurfaced. Had abundant rains
come at the proper time. the courts
might have been in ideal shape now.
Instead, it rained right after the plow-
ing, before the ground could be rolled,
making it all spongy, and then after 1t
had been leveled, no more rain came.
A steam roller has been at work the
last few days. Now If it will rain in
abundance, thoroughly soaking the
ground, the courts will be in excellent
shape after another rolling.
