MIR. Leighton. the West Pembrok post
master. has given the neighbors some
amusement lately. Mr. Leighton is one
of the respected citizens OF the place. He
is telegraph operator and something of
an inventor as we'll. Last week when the
orders came from the government TO
transfer the mails from the old star route
| to the new railway service Mr.. Leighton
was ordered to get the exact distance
from his office TO the depot in order to
settle the question as to whether the gov
ernment should deliver the mail or II this
duty should fall upon the railroad COM
pany.
MIR. leighton took large wheel and
after measuring it's circumference TO get
the number of feet and inches of each
revolution, arranged 1t between two poles,
VIII, 81 barrow fashion. Near one of the
srokes he attached clioker that sounded
with each revolution. This completed, he
started out In the middle OF the road,
pushing the wheel before him in the
direction OF the postofilce at Pembroke,
As he assembled the hill he began to count
each click and was doing fairly we'll when
several teams came along and obliged him
to take to the sidewalk. After the teams
had passed Mr.. leighton lost his count
and was obliged to return to his starting
point TO begin anew.
His actions attracted the passers by who
watched and wondered What ON earth he
was about. The next time his count was
in the hundreds aud he had nearly
reached the upper village when a friend
began making Inquiries. Here he lost his
count again and without answering the
friend started back to begin anew. Next
time he got about haif way over again te-
came. uncertain about his count ard re-
turned again. BY this time his actions
had attracted IA large crowd and when he
reached the upper village the boy yelled;
Now he's trottlng, Now he's pacing"
Again he lost his count When some one
asked him what ne was trying to do his
LAM uage was just "a little out OF his
ordinary sty lie and tone OF voice.
MIR. Leighton, in spite of remarks of his
amused spectators completed his task and
learned the exact distance. mbroke
people think he walked somewhere in the
neighborhood of fifteen miles to accom-
plish his purpose.

The Republican opposition to Senator
Quay stood solid on the balloting in the
Senate and House on Tuesday and at the
joint convention yesterday, and the re-
suit was no election. After the ballot
ings have begun and uen have committed
themselve by their votes the task of
winning them over is very much en-
hanoed so that the failure of Senator
Quay TO get majority on the first ballot
creates "a very strong presumption against
his being able to get 1t hereafter unless

There is reason to believe that the

Cuba Indeed, there are more reasons
why we should desire that ths Filipinos

will give Cuba to the Cubans whenever
it shall be- made fairly certain that they
can maintain a stable and Independent
government. Even when that shall be
Accomplished the United States must
stand to the world in the relation of a
sponsor or defender. There is no reason
why the same policy should not apply
TO the Philippines. II the anti-expansion
senators are anxious to change their post
ton from absolute rejection of the treaty
to its ratification with condition that
the Filipinos shall have an independent
