~liberately, not like President Roose-
welt, who Is credited with jumping ut
everything. in 4 fury OF energy and
working strenuously, as he terms II.
Judge Parker works orderly aud ac-
complishes IL vast amount OF work.
No n has ever heard him speak un-
kindly OF an inferior, his natural kind
ness smooths the way, yet he has the
hripness of II Gibraltar in his opinions
and decisions.
Judge Parker Is no fancy farmer
playing Mt farming like a boy with IL
toy. He manages his farm and makes
1t pay. lie is Il real farmer. who d.
reefs the work, examines the blowing.
ana In harvest time is found in his
shirt sleeves ut work with his men In
saving the hay and cutting the wheat.
Judge Parker Is not Il rich man, rs
the term is now understood. lie may
be worth $4,000, made by saving and
by good Judgment. His farm ut Cort-
land came 10 him from his father. He
was born on 1t and toilcd on it when
n boy. Like the great Daniel Web
ster, he cannot bear to part with the
home where his happy boyhood days
were spent, where to fame and for
tune unknown" lie worked assiduously
to get an education and to become a
80 AAS anu VI III NOl-
sequence In his day and generation.
Judge Parker has never been defeat
cd yet. and it is very unlikely that GOOD
fortune will desert him when the
prize is so near his grasp. Hospital
lty is one OF the cardinal virtues in
Judge Parkcr's household. Like the
planter in the Southern States pre-
vious 10 the war OF 1861, he deems II
to be Il privilege 10 offer entertainment
over night. All his n~eighbors are his
friends, and when lie is ut the head of
his dining table. surrounded by his
VIE, mother, brother, Il sister OF Mrs.
Parker, who lives ut NosrmOunt; his
uauShter, "son-in-law, grandchildren
and Secretary McCauseIand, with
two or three guests. lie Is the life o!
the party, gentle and dignificd, direct
ing the conversation. but not monop-
oliZing it. y mans private habits
throw much light OIL his character,
ana nothing in the life of n candidate
Tor President is uni%ntcrcsting to the
people who vote for the one who is TO
fill the Office for the next four years.
Although Judge Parker rises early. he
does not retire TO his sleeping room be-
fore II O'Clock ut night, aud lie works
s. intermittingly during the day that
he sleeps as swcetly as Il babe on its
mothers bosom. He hardly ever re-
quircs more than seven hours sleep.
