liberately, not like President Roose-
Welt, who is credited with jumping at |
everything i'll 4 fury of energy and
working strenuously rs he terms il. |
Judge Parker works orderly and ac- |
composites vast amount of work |
No ore has ever heard him speak un |
kindly of an inferior, his natural kind |
ness smooths the way, yet he has the
firmness of Gibraltar in his opinions |
and decisions.
Judge Parker is no fancy farmer
playing at farming like boy with Il
toy. He manages his farm and makes
it pay. He is Il real farmer, who d.
reefs the work. examines the blowing.
and in harvest time is found in his
shirt sleeves Mt work with his men in
saving the hay and cutting the wheat.
Judge Parker is not Il rick man, as
| the term is now understood He may
| be worth $4,000 made by saving and
/ by good judgment His farm 1T Cort-
| land came to him from his father. He
! was born OH it and toiled on it when
boy. Like the great Daniel Web
/ Ster. he cannot bear to part with the
/ home where his happy boyhood days
i were spent, where to fame and for
! tune unknown he worked aSsiduouSIy
| to get All education and TO become Il
person of usefulness and of some con-
! sequence in his day and generation.
Judge Parker has never been defeat
ed yet, and it is very unlikely that good
fortune will desert him when the
prize is so near his grasp. Hospital
ity is one of the cardinal virtues in
Judge Parker's household. Like the
planter in the Southern States pre-
yiouS to the war Of 1861, he deems it
to be Il privilege to offer entertainment
over night. All his neighbors are his
friends, and when he is ut the head Of
his dining table, surrounded by his
wife, mother, brother, Il sister of Mrs.
Parker, who lives ut Rosemount; his
daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren
and Secretary McCauseland, With
two or three guests, he is the life of
the party, gentle and dignified, direct
ing the conversation. but not monop-
olizing it. A mans private habits
throw much light on his character,
and nothing in the life of a candidate
for President is uninteresting to the
people who vote for the one who is 10
fill the Office forthe next four years.
Although judge Parker rises early, he
does not retire to his sleeping room be
fore Il O'Clock at night, and he works
intermittingly during the day that
he sleeps as sweetly as babe on its
mothers bosom. He hardly ever re
quires more than seven hours sleep
