George KcppeI in Washington!
Mr. George Keppel is in Washington!
And who is Mr.. George Keppel, do you
ask? My, but that is to confess awful
ignorance, don't you know. Mr.. George
Keppel is the husband of Mrs. George
Keppel And Mrs. Keppel is the one
woman in England who can amuse the
blase King of England, and that's no
joke. Wherever the King goes, it IS
expected that Mrs George keppel VIII
go also. And if she is not invited, the
King leaves the house just as soon as
he finds it out. Mrs. George Keppel
is a beauty, according to English IDEAS,
which, by the way, are not up to the
American standard. She is rich. which
means that she can dress as well as
the English ideas of dress go, and she
has a very pretty wit, which, coupled
with her beauty and dress, are her
chicfest charms for the King of Eng
land. Mrs. Kcppel, it is said by those
who know, has driven half dozen
women insane with her arrogance and
arbitrary actions and has fought every
other woman in England to a finish
and reigns supreme as the leader in the
Kings set.
George Keppel, husband of this court
beauty and brilliant woman, accom-
panied by f. J. Frewen, both of Lon
don, are guests at the New Willard.
MIR. Keppel is interested in ordnance,
guns and electric submarines, and such
dian head to look at something of that
sort.
At any rate, Mrs. Keppers husband
is here.
Now what's the matter with Wash
ngton? The Governors who were in
session here last week, considering all
sorts and conditions of regulations for
running their respective States. have
knocked Washington hard, and recon-
mended that the next annual session
of Governors shall be held in a State
Capital. Well, Washington will not
miss them a little bit. We count that
day lost that does not bring to Wash
ington anywhere from three of five Ma
tiOnal conventions.
The sudden death of ambassador
Nabuco, of Brazil, brought sorrow to
the heart of everybody who knew him.
He WAS a gentleman, scholar,
statesman. He was kind of heart,
gentle Of manner, and as q diplomat
held high rank. Funeral services Of
the most uuostentatious character were
held at st. Matthew's Church. where
solemn high mass was said. the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Taft attending the serv-
ice. The body of the dead diplomat
was taken TO Oak Hill Cemetery and
placed in a vault Later it will be

There has been a remarkable shak-
ing up in the Forestry Service since
Mr.. PinchOt was severed from it. The
Bureau comes under the direction of
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, and
he has now set seriously to work to
IrcOrganiZe It.
There are about 20 law officers en-
I ploycd under the Forest Service. BY
the Secretary's order these have been
taken away from the jurisdiction of the
Forester and placed under the direct
charge of George i. McCabc, the Solici-
tor of the Agricultural Department
Another action taken by Secretary
Wilson is to transfer all financial trans
actions of the Forest Service to the Dis
| bursing Officer of the Agricultural De-
| partment. Included in this transfer are
| the accounts of those engaged in pub
| licity work for the Forest Service. A
( large amount of money was spent in
! publicity work while Mr.. PinchOt was
head Of the service.
