DELIGHTFULLY."- ENTERTAINED.
The Elks Hold an Open Session
and Hear Prof. DuChamps
on Physioenomy.

The members OF the lodge of Elks of
this city we're most delightfully."- enter
tanned last night at an open session OF
the lodge previous to the regular session,
by lecture from Prot. DuChamps, the
well known physiognomiet. Prof. Du-
Champs is not quack nor fakir, but a
learned gentleman who has made the
study OF the ience of physiognomy the
work Of life time He has none of the
methods of charlatau, but is as proud
OF the science which he represents as is
the most learned physician or specialist
in any OF the sciences.
Prof. DuChamps is Frenchman by
birth and has been graduated from one
of the noted universities of France. He
has lectured before. many of the learned
societies Of his own country and OF this
country, and has dignifed the profession
OF which he is an exponent by the high
minded and intelligent exposition which
he makes of its principles. He asks no
one to believe what he says when same
cannot be proven by the facts as they
exist in the human face He systemat-
cally compares the science OF medicine
with that OF physiognomy with such
ability that, the most skeptical OF the
correctness of the science,is unconscious
y convinced OF its exactness.
In his lecture last night, which occu-
pied an hour and half, Prof. Du
Champs reviewed the origination of the
science from the remote period of the
ancients. He followed it's development
to modern times and proved beyond any
question whatever that unconsciously
the average man was a physiognomist
whether he knew it or not.
the reading of the human face is not
confined alone to physioe nomists. The
physician involuntarily practices it as
soon as he enters the sick room; the
banker gauges the capacity of the indi
vidual by his face, as does almost every
man who comes in contact with another
1t would be impossible to follow the
professor through the course Of his lec-
ture throughout, but it was so vividly
portrayed that he held his hearers at de-
lightful attention during the time he
was speaking, without the symptom OF
unrest
A vote OF thanks was rendered Prof.
DuChamps at it's conclusion for the de-
lightful treat he had given the members
OF the order.

Insurance.

can do who keeps his business to him
self and, fguratively speaking, saws

ry, the we'll known insurance man. has
gone about his business writing insur-
ance policies and doubtless there are
many people who have wondered what
Mr.. Forty was doing when away from
home and taking phenomenally long
drives, these drives comprehendlng the
distance from Telluride on the south to
Meeker on the north, over six counties
being included in the territory. Well.
to make long story short, there is hard
ly a respectable farm house or big barn
in all that distance that has not some
insurance from the companies represent
ed by Mr.. Forry. He has on bis policy
register over 400 policies OF insurance
and these policies represent about $780,
900 worth Of insurance. This is busi-
ness. 1t don't take much talk, even to
a blind man, to convince the public that
Mr.. Forry has had to do some hustling
10 secure this big volume OF business.
He is now out and after more and he
says that as long as his health remains
good he will be securing the country af-
ter more policies Mr.. Forty evidently
represents good insurance companies to
have secured this large amount OF insur-
auce. Someone usually finds out il a
company is bad-the kind OF company
Mr.. Forry says he never has and never
will have anything to do with.

in order that the children may
learn temperance in early life. they
should have nutritious food. simply
prepared. without irritating additions;
given at regular intervals, in appro-
pirate quantities. with orderly sur.
roundings, by quiet. calm and well.
poised attendants. And as the food
cannot be used by the system until
thoroughly digested. and as the first
process of digestion is in mastication,
It is absolutely essential to teach the
child to chew every mouthful of food
most carefully. When this is done
nature can do its part after the food
has passed from the child's control.
This also greatly lessons the tendency
to over-eat. This plan will secure a
body symmetrically developed, a ner.
vous system generating orderly i'm.
pulses. a brain accustomed to gov.
erning by reason. not swayed by de.
sire or sense pleasure.
"The child whose life is so ordered
will be not only well in body, but
happy in mind; for there is no happi-

comes through regularity of life; and
no more fruitful source of unhappi.

Among the enumerated virtues de-
sirable for the child to possess is
that of temperance. II would seem
at first thought as IL this were not
a virtue suited to childhood, but we
must remember that the foundation
Of all nature characteristics Is laid

pressions on the plastic brain. and
there form pathways. as 1t were. over
which pass the impulses which even

the habits OF life. A habit OF regular
ity is the foundation OF life Of tenn
perance, IL that regularity Is In tenn

get that temperance. or its opposite,
may express itself In speech or con.
duct as well as In eating and drink

be moderate and we'll regulated in all
lifes manifestations. Alder says:
Regularity may not In itself be a
moral quality. but the life OF irregu.

"The first lessons in temperance.
then. are to be found in the calm,
self-poised and we'll regulated lives of
those who are about the child, and
