Francis I'. Duffy. Partly owing to llie fact that he weut overseas with the "Fighting Sixty, ninth, I' other Duffy hue many parish* loners from that' portion of the city cqmoiouly known as "Hell's Kitchen." Going to a dinner one evening,' he passed a group of thein standing ou the corner of Forty-second street and Hroadwuy and stopped to mpeak. He was wearing a dinner suit with his black shirt, and felt that he looked ruther well. Iudtcutlng his evening at* tire, he demanded: "Well, hoys, how do you like the scenery 7" "Father," suld one, "you ought to know thut patent leather shoes go with thut uniform." . "Any other criticism?" "Ye?," said another, "White gloves should either he worn or curried iu the hand."** "An evening overcoat should he fold* ed over the left arm," volunteered a third. Futher Duffy was becoming a bit nettled. v. "Maybe you have sopie other suggestions," he said, a bit sarcastically. ".lust this," cume a drawling voice from the rear of the group. "If you will rig yourself up like that, you ought at least t<J take a taxi." * * Father .Duffy writes more letters to the police and lire commissioners than does the mayor. Every time a policeman or fireman gets into trouble, he seems to want Father Duffy to write a letter, believing that will struighten things out. He always asks what the difficulty lg und uhvuys Is assured thut the worst and only thing which has happened has been the overlooking of some little technicality. "No more than thut?" "Not a thing except thut, Father." Among Father Duffy's prized possessions is u letter from a tire chief in answer to his request to know why a good man had been laid off for some trivial infringement of rule." The reply specifies In great detail sixteen separate counts on which charges had been brought for serious dereliction of duty. Lt will be' long before he hears the last of that one. When Father Duffy Isn't trying to get somebody out of trouble or out of Jail, he Is getting him a Job. One day, coining In on u train at the Pennsylvania station, a porter said to him: "Please let me carry your bag. I don't want any money." "Why do you want to carry my bag?" "You doft't remember me," said the red cap, "but a couple of years ago I was down on my luck and couldn't get a Job. I bad a wife and family and I needed work. You gave me a letter to Mr. Egan, the station master, and I .have been here ever since." p * "Sometimes people give me money for the poor," says Father Duffy, "but what I really need more, Is Jobs. Say I can get a man a Job at a salary of $1,000 a year. That's 5 per cent on $20,000. Isn't that better than giving him $}0 or $20, whicV Can last him only forw? few days." Pollen Commlnnlnnflr TVfnliv>r>npy nlflft told me of a porter, but this was a pullman porter. He had once been on the police force and he wanted to know what chance he had to get his Job back. His total tips on a chair car run to Syracuse and back had been 75 cents. He had lost Interest In the railroad business. __ Rosltg Forbes, Jraveler and novelist* 'has loin a DIt OI mini iu ciinnm, Cm night In Persia she came to the cave of a minor prophet who gave her a very superior snake's head, guaranteed te bring Immediate and lasting luck. /The next morning her car jgot stuck 'la the mud and It took flee hours to yank lt out (?.

Before that Its appearance made It the subject of many' gibes, t and so long ago as 1830, while it was ; being built, Joseph Jekyll, the fumous master in chancery, wrote of It as re- V minding him of nothing so much as u mausoleum?an opinion shared by William IV, who kept away from It as much us possible, writes a columnist In the Manchester Guurdlan. The late King Edward, too, never concealed ills dislike for the appearance of his town residence. "What a magnificent workhouse it would have made!" he confided to Lord Farquhur when he first went to live there. Shortly after, pausing to watch paint- ? ers at work on the exterior of a wellknown \\est end store, he remarked; 'That Is what Buckingham palace i^eds, but unfortunately I am not m successful draper." Weeping Willow Ancestry A twig placed In a box of figs'which was sent by a traveler in Syria to Alexander Pope. English poet, is said by nurserymen to have been the ancestor of all the weeping willows In B this country today, reports Better * Homes and Gardens. The twig, from one of the weeping willows beside the rivers of Babylon, was planted by the Thames and became a tree. During the Revolutionary war, a British officer brought with him ^ slip from this tree, which he gave to John Curtis of Virginia. Curtis planted it, and the tree which grew from it still stands on the Curtis estate and is said to be the first weeping willow in the United States. * t The Cenior'i Hint Representative La Quardla said at a dinner in New York: "Censor's aren't the fools that the censored make them out to^ho.
