" TRUMBULL !
of NEW YORK
One of the beat known figures In
, New York U Itev. 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.

British Royal Palace ^ *
Likened to Mausoleum 1
The ,exterior of Buckingham palace
gained considerably by its refaeing 'l]
soon after King George V took poa- b
session. 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.
