Ex-Governor Leo Too Absorbed by Private
Affairs to Talk Politics.
Pierre, S. D., March 16.-Ex-Governor
Andrew Z. Lee came In from yermil-
lion Monday night and spent Tuesday
looking over lists OF ranch property
among the local real estate men. He
wants to buy or lease Il good sized
ranch where he car pasture 1000 or
more cattle during the summer sea-
son and prepare them for his winter
feed yards In Clay county. He did not
succeed in finding just what he wanted.
but will o give up the task.
h ex-governor is not greatly
pleased with the record OF the recent
nor with the course of ma
tional republican politics. but he is 90
busy with private affairs to spend,
much time arguing the matter with the
people. He says he finds the small
ranchers very Jealous of their rights
and i~ndisposed to be friendly to the
big interests which are fencing up the
ranges, and he does not blame the
small men for feeling that way.

1.-THE sorrow with which the an
nouncement of Queen Victoria's death
was received in the United States made
a deep Impression on the English peo-
pie" said a prominent London barris-
ter In a Washington Interview the
other day. 1They feel that 1t has
brought the two nations into a closer
sympathy and to a better understand
ing. In England there has neve been
the hostility toward America that
Americans have felt for England. Even
during the war of the revolution the
masses Of the English people sympa-
thtzed with the struggling colonies, and
there has v been any national re-
sentiment that they gained their in
dependence. The E%nglishman is proud
of the greatness of the United States,
for he remembers the first Americans
were Englishmen, whose love OF liberty
drove them to the new world. No peo>
pie on earth glory more in freedom. or
guard more jealousy that which is
theirs than the English

Accident Policy Holders Present som~
Preposterous Demands.
London Mail: The other day one of the
best known English accident insurance
companies received q claim for $50. The
insurer had received a blow in the eye
which compelled him to stay In the dark
fer a month. In the column cause of ac-
cidentt were written the sardonic words:

The unusual candor with which some of
the insured write is amusing. In "A recent
case, in which a client had suffered from
a broken collar bone, there appeared under
the heading. cause CT accident:',"Do not

Some clients imagineIf they do not send
a infinitely detailed account of the acct-
dent they will receive no compensation. 1t
Is only in this way that one can account
for this statement: II had words with my
wife. She came oward mo with a shovel.

Doctors and magistrates certificates to
this effect were inclosed. As the certtf-
