Enormously rich. good.looking and
with long lineage. the young duchess
of Westminster ia one Of the most
unpopular peercsses In Great Britain.
Arrogant and asscrtive by nature. her
marriage to the duke Of Westminster
vastly accentuated the blcmishcs In
her character. She declined TO meet
anyone half way and her grandeur
impressed no one so much as herself.
II is said that the duke. who seems to

How Sir Harry keppei Staggered the
Governor Of AIoiera.

There are not many men in the
British navy who were promoted more
quickly than Sir Harry Keppei. He
was n commodore at twen,y.four. and
at this carly age was sent to the gov.
ernor of Algiers TO demand an apoi.
ogy from that monarch for an insult
to the British fiag.
Naturally the gold braid of the
commodore fred the youth to deeds
of daring. and. perhaps. a little bit
of side" and the high tone which
he arrogated to himself upset his
majesty OF Algicrs TO such an extent
that that dusky potentate cried ou,
against the insolencc of the British
queen for sending a "beardless boy
with such message to him.
But young Keppel was prepared.
Were my queen" he replied. wont

wisdom. she would have sent your
