It has taken Fisk Goodyear OF
Burchtown, Pa, two years to train
his pet squirrels, but his efforts are
now repaid, and on Thanksgiving ne
treated his friends to surprise.
Gathering half hundred or more
gray squirrels, Mr.. Goodyear taught
them to go into the woods and pick
up nuts, carrying them to his home
On Thanksgiving night at a dinner
his guests noticed a small board run
ming from a window to a nut bowl.
The host gave one knock on the table
with his knife. A squirrel hoped
down the plank and dropped chest
nut into the bowl. Two raps brought
a squirrel with walnut, three KNOCKS
a shellbark.
Finally, a grave old squirrel took
his place and cracked the nuts, wind
ing up the performance by brushing
off the crumbs with his thick bushy
tail -

Then he started to walk home and
was on the mountain when the cries
of q wildcat alarmed him. A few
minutes later he saw the beast ten
feet in front of him. The animal
finally sprang. He jumped aside and
as the body of the cat struck. the road
he leaped upon It. For several min

REVOL UTIONaRY SONS
TO PLAN FOB 4TH

It is up to the Sons of the American
Revolution to plan for the celebration
of the coming Fourth of July. A meet
ing of citizens was called for noon yes
terday at Republican headquarters by
the citizens committee which had the
anniversary in hand for the past two
years. The meeting was attended by
only the old officers and committee
men, including Col J. w. Jones, chair
man; A P. Taylor, secretary; c. L.
Crabbe and Col Ziegler and newspaper
men.
While waiting for some patriotic cit
liens, Americans who believed in the
Fourth of July as a good day to cele
brate, there was some discussion as to
ways and means. The secretary stated
that Lyle Dickey, on behalf of the Sons
of the American Revolution, had sent
the mail a letter from that or
ganization together with it's contribu-
ton of $50 for the celebration.
At that time no report had been re
ceived from former treasurer w. W.
Hall. as to finances of the old commit
tee. but later in the day a report was
received showing a balance of $23 left
over from last years fund. This. with
the $50Ialready contributed, makes a
tctal of $73 to start off with
The secretary finally moved that the
matter of a celebration be placed in
tbs hands OF the Sons of the American
Revolution, and a unanimous vote was
I ecorded The old committee will as

ever way possible.

RECIPROCITY
DATE FIXED
The Day on Which the
Cuban Treaty Was
Proclaimed.

A decision adverse to a claim Of bene-
fit from Cuban reciprocity set up by
the American Sugar Refining Company
was rendered by the United States SUI
preme Court on May IS, 1906.
The question in the case was whether
certain sugars which were imported
between the 18th of June and the 18th
of September, 1903. we're charged bic
with full duties under the tariff act of
July "a, 1897, or were entitled to 20 per
cent reduction of duties prescribed by
that act, under the treaty between the
United States and Cuba of the date
December II, 1902, and an act of Con-
gress of December II, 1903. The an
Swer TO the question depended upon
when the treaty went into effect,
whether upon the 10th of April, 1903,
or the 27th of December, 1903 The
American Sugar Refining Company
commended for the former and the Unit
ed States for the latter date.
Duties were assessed under the act
of 1897 without reduction. Protests
were filed and an appeal taken tc the
Board of United States General APP
praisers, who sustained the collector.
The decision of the Board was reversed
by the Circuit Court. An appeal was
then taken to the Federal Supreme
Court, which in an opinion delivered
by Justice McKenna, reversed the
judgment of the Circuit Court and re-
manded the case with directions to af-
firm the order Of the Board of General
Following is the law of the case as
contained in the syllabus of opinion:
The treaty with Cuba, reducing the
duties on merchandise imported from
that country, did not take effect April
10, 1908, ten days after the exchange of
ratifications, nor on December II, 1908,
when approved by act of Congress, but
On December 81 1903, the date pro-
claimed by the Presidents of the Unit
I'd States and Cuba.
There is a presumption against re-
respective legislation, and words in a
