these lengths are boiled for about three

lower portion Of the measure is natural

is clearly defined and distinctly trace

The Harvest Time of the Sunhoyer.

The harvest time Of the sunfOwer can
scarcely be fixed, as it depends not only
upon the climate, but also upon the IA
ture Of the soil and the exposure Of the
plantation. IL the south and southwest
Of European Russia it ripens about the
middle Of September, further nort1, 1t
the end Of September or beginning Of
October. On sandy soil it ripens about
the middle of August, on black earth
lands at the end Of August and on low
er grounds still later. From this it NAV
be seen that the sunhower, wherever it
grows, ripens later than any other corn
plant, very important fact in agricul-
ture, as its harvesting does not interfere
with the harvesting of other crops.
When the sunfower is overripe its yell
low flowers wither, the stalk and the
seed cup from the top become gray, all
the leaves of the flower covering the
seeds fall off and the seeds get hard,
shoot out from the seed cup and crack
open. At this time the plant should be
we'll guarded from the birds or the over
ripe seeds will soon be destroyed by

John Blazer, tailor of Terrell, Tex,
has received check for twenty five dol
lars from G. c. Henming, president of
the National Bank Of Gainesville, Tex.
in payment for uniform which the for
mer made for the latter thirty years ago
when both were inmates of the famous
Rock Island prison. The uniform was
made from two Federal overcoats, and
in that garb He1nming evaded the vigi-
lance of the guards and effected his es-
cape. Hemming learned Of his benefac-
tors whereabouts only a few days ago,
and instantly sent him the check for the
above amount out of gratitude to Blazer
for enabling him to escape.-Cor. st.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The supreme court of the United
States has forever settled the question
as to the right Of a witness to refuse to
answer a question in court when the
true answer to such question would
criminate the witness or be used against
him in a criminal action in which he
may be a defendem. The case upon
which the court rendered its decision
was the celebrated case of Charles Coun-
Gilman, appellant, rs. the marshal Of the
northern district of Illinois. In Il case
before Judge Gresham, III which the
Interstate commerce commission was a
party, Councilman was asked if he had
ever obtained Il lower rate ON grain ship
ments than the open rate to shippers.
lie refused to answer the question on
the ground that it might incriminatc
him and claimed the protection euaran.
teed by the fifth amendment 20 the con
stitution OF the United States. Judge
Gresham decided he must answer the
question and, upon his refusal, ordered
his Imprisonment for contempt of
court.
Councilman appealed to the supreme
court of the United States. which holds
that Judge Gresham erred in issuing the
order and that Councilman was not
compelled to testify under the circum-
stances. The effect Of the decision, it is
said, will greatly hamper the work of
the interstate IN commission,
which must necessarily rely upon such
testimony as Councilman could give to
the law against certain railroads
that are in the habit of violating it.
Railroad corporations are finding no
fault with the decision.

Under the above headline the Helena
Journal rcproduces an editorial which
appeared a few days ago in the TRIBUNE
urging the business men OF Great Fails
to take immediate steps looking to the
extension Of the Noihart OF Barker
branch Of the Great Northern to Castle
and then adds:
Can Helena afford 20 ignore this most
important question in the face of the
pronounced activity on the part of her
ncighbors? The journal believes that
immediate steps should he taken by the
business men Of the capital to push IA
PROJECT for a railroad to Castle the com
ing spring. As the Tribune well says.
il is a paying business proposition
from the start, and We need not remind
Helena business men that it will not
he Il pleasant thing to wake up some
Rnc morning and find that Great Falls
Or any other city has fnrestalled them
and pluClicd the prize that was theirs
FOR the asking.
1t is an old but pertinent-in this in
stance-saying that "ialk is cheap. but
it takes money to buy whisky" The
Macedonian cry Of the Journal will
doubtless bring this saying forcibly to
the minds of the business mon of Helena.
1T is n thing to talk about building a
railroad from Helena to Castle, but it is
quite another thing to do it. Nature
has pointed to the natural outlet for Cas-
tie ores and Castle traffic. 1t is not
H~elenaward. No road to Castle will
ever be built over the high mountains
lying between that place and Helena
either by the way Of Avalanche gulch
or Whites gulch or Duck creek. There
arc natural barriers between the two
places which no engineering skill can
overcome Helena is simply unfortu
nately situated for practicable railroad
connection with Castle. That is all.
Her business men are all right. They
are enterprising to AN aggressive degree,
but they are intelligent and therefore
will not attempt the impossible.
On the other hand an Almighty power
has bent down the backs Of the noun
tains and hewed out passage ways over
