Putting Children to Sleep.

In certain parts of the Himalaya
mountains the native women have a
singular way of putting their children
to sleep in the middle of the day. The
child is put near stream of water,
and by means of palm leaf or a tin
scoop the water is DETECTED so as to
run over the back of the child's head.
The water pouring on the child's
head apparently sends 1t to sleep and
keeps 1t SO, while the mother pro.
ceeds with her work in the fields. No
one seems ever to fear that baby may
be drowned.

Sorne Causes of Cancer.

An inquiry by DR.. Alfred Wolff into
the mysterious cause of cancer has
yielded an unexpected conclusion
which promises temperance advocates
new and powerful argument. DR..
Wolff discovers that all the districts
of high cancer mortality are districts
in which beer or cider is largely
drunk. Bavaria, for instance, heads
the list in Germany, and Salisbury in
Austria-both great beer-drinking
provinces. In France the statistics
are still more striking. There is the
most marked contrast between the
high cancer mortality in beer-drinking
departments and the low death rate
from cancer elsewhere.

A PhlIosopher'o REVENGE.

In experimenting his household AZ.
fairs Herbert Spencer was practical
and amusing. At one time the poul.
terer had not been giving satisfaction.
80 Spencer called his housekeeper and
gave her directions to transfer his
custom to another tradesman, whose
shop faced the delinquent's. "And,
Miss Smith," said the author of Syn.
lhetic Philosophy" "be particular

gates there. [ learn through
Democratic sources I do not
know bow reliable they are) that
Ashbaugh and Sullivan controlled
one thousand dollars of "antis"
money with which to carry our
convention, but think they did
not use any of it, as no delegates
were for sale.
1 have positive proof that when
he ran the last time that he
worked, personally, for himself to
the exclusion and disadvantage of
everyone else on the ticket, and
when L told him of it few days
ago, and that he must work this
fall for the whole ticket, he said
to me, damn the party, when 1
run am looking out for myself"
I am supporting Newell now be-
cause he represents the party but
when he was following Teller, 1
was against him as l am now
against Ashbaugh.
After he has abused my con-
fidence as friend, and lied and
deceived me, l have no faith in
him whatever, and could not be-
lieve him under oath, and when
he stood before our convention
and promised that he would sup
port the straight Republican tick
ct this fall have no idea in my
mind that he intended to do it..
He is too much under the in
tluence of the Denver "antis'' and
John F. Vivian, who promised
him the nomination of district
judge at the expiration of Judge
DeFrance's term, and if not elect
ed, good job with the "savages"
and the "antis" in Denver, where
he, Sullivan and Ed Mitchell be-
long and where they expect to
have absolute rule hereafter.
If the next convention nomin-
ates him l shall have to support
him but I shall know and feel that
there is a traitor in camp that
must be watched and who will be-
tray the party whenever his own
selfish and dishonest ambition
stands in the way.
1 shall present the name of
better man and better Republi-
can for county judge at the next
convention.

Dear Sir:
Enclosed I send you a copy of n
letter received by me from the
Republican central committee of
the city and county of Denver, to
which you may contribute as you
may feel able.
This shows us to what extent
the "savages" with the help of the
".antis" in Denver intend to carry
their rule and the necessity of
stamping out traitor "antis" to the
party in our own county if we are
to keep up its organization. And
in this convention l will say that
Flor Ashbaugh has shown him
self unworthy of denomination
on our ticket for county judge OF
this county and l for one will not
; support him for that or any other
nomination.
There was a meeting Of the
"antis" held in Golden about two
weeks ago at which Ashbaugh, Ed
Mitchell and Sullivan with others
from this county were present,
and after Ashbaugh returned he
swore to me up and down, in the
strongest language possible, that
he had gotten through with the
"antis" forever, and would pull
straight, and Mt the same time, il
now comes TO my knowledge, the

DEMOCRATIC JUDICIAL IICKET-lst DISTRICT
JUDGE
A. H. DEFRANCE
SOMETHING FOR Mr.. AsHBAUGH TO ANSWER.

The Register-Call of last week,
speaking for Judge Ashbaugh,
stated that the gentleman would
not answer the attacks made upon
him by a member of his party
through the columns of the OBJ
server, neither would he permit
his friends to. AS far as Mr..
Ashbaugh is concerned he dare
not attempt to answer the charges
and as to his friends, they have no
desire to. 1t is a case with Mr..
Ashbaugh where "silence is gold
en-" even though in this instance
'silence gives consent" By not
defending himself against these
attacks Mr.. Ashbaugh at least
tacitly admits that they are SO.
But that's neither here nor there
Here is letter which was written
by the then as now chairman of
the Republican county central
committee, of much concern to
Mr.. Ashbaugh. He should and
must answer the charges made by
Mr.. Fullerton. He can't squirm
out of this. We will make no
comment here on the contents of
the letter but will leave that for
the readers, who should read it, re-
read it and then read it again:

LANGUAGE AIDS IN SUCCESS.

One who has been a close stu
dent Of matters commercial dur
ing the past decade will have
found ample cause for gratifica-
ton with what the United States
has achieved in the foreign
markets. But Notwithstanding
our success we have experienced
keen competition and this COM
petition by no means decreases
as time rolls by.
Germany may be considered
our greatest commercial rival IN
certain foreign countries today.
English and American methods
of dealing with a people of alien
tongue SAVIOR somewhat of same
ness. A good representative of
an English or American firm IN a
home port would be considered
a good man to do business in
Hong Kong, or anywhere else
for that matter. Not so with
the foreign representative OF a
German firm-such representa-
tive must he fluent with the
language of the people with
xuboy,o ba ic tO deal,
This may seem a small matter,
but indeed it is now credited
with being the source OF the
greatest commercial advantage
TO the children of the Father

mer expect to hypnotize the
heather if he is not qualified to
make said heather understand
his jargon? Successful trading
