Thihtles.

In the fourteenth century thistles
We're used as food for cattle, and they
were considered as crop. In the old
priory of Lindisfarne there is a note
in the archives of 1344-45 of thick
leather gloves required for the harvest
ers of the thistle crop 1t is curious
that. though the thistle is the emblem
OF Scotland. the Scot never seems able
to say which kind of thistle is the
true national emblem. 1t is said that
thistle which resembles Carduus mari
anus was figured on the old coinage Of
the DAY OF James ". who was first to
put thistles on the Scotch money. The
horn spoons sold in Edinburgh some
times have little silver thistles on the
end of the handles.

He is a confirmed magazine reader.
He seldom reads poetry, but is fond OF

working husband But his natural
taste is for Dickens, Thackeray and

agriculture or cattle breeding is sure
to interest him.

Judge Parker was born May IA, 1852,
at Cortland. y. Y. and was the son of
a farmer Two hundred years ago his
ancestors had come from England and
settled in New England. From genera
ton to generation they We're Of the
hardy farmer class. and they drew their
love of country from the soil to which
they had been transplanted. Judge
Parker's great-grandfather was q SOL
dier in the ranks Of Washington's
army.
AS early as he could do so young
Parker attended school at Cortland
academy and later got out of the Cort-'
land Normal school all the equipment
for life that 1t could give him. His
parents were not able to send him to
college or even to take care of him
while he was trying to find a foothoid.
AT sixteen he became a country school
teacher.
Reluctantly he was obliged to give
up the hope of college training for
his profession and to think of the old
fashioned approach to the bar through
the office of preceptor. Having sur
rendered one cherished ambition. but
not his chosen profession, he was ad-
mitted to the office Of Schoonmaker
& Hardenbergh Of Kingston as a stu
dent Of law. Working his way. he
was at last enabled to enter the law
school at Albany. gravitating between
the office of his preceptors at King
ston and the law school. according to
season and necessity. In 1872 he was
graduated. and soon after the sign of
Parker & Kenyon was hung out mt
Kingston.
He speedily demonstrated decided
ability for political management.
From the start he was Democrat.
The Greeley tribune., 1904-07-28

In 1877, when he was twenty-five. the
Democrats of Ulster county nominated
him for surrogate Of the county. He
was elected for Il six year term and in
1883 was reelected.
In 1854 he was delegate to the
convention at Chicago that nominated
Grover Cleveland for president, and he
helped to pull the candidate through
in the hotly contested campaign OF
that year. Cleveland was elected, and
in January he turned over to Lieuten-
term of office he was obliged to sur
render to become president.
Governor Hill was nominated III the
fall. The Democratic party was Worn
out with the efforts it had made IN
the preceding year, its money was ex-
hausted, and its stock of patience vas
growing small.
Hill was urged to select this or that
man to take charge of his interests in
the conduct of the campaign. He. too.
had come to know Parker very well.
and he had clear conviction of his
superior fitness for the difficult posi-
ton to be occupied. He sent to King
ston for Parker. who not only over
came the apathy OF his party and dis
regarded the disadvantage of an
empty cash box. but overcame all the
advantages supposed to be enjoyed
by the Republicans and saw his candi-
date victorious by 11.ooo plurality in
the state in which Cleveland had with
difficulty secured about 100 the year
before.
During the campaign Supreme Court
Justice Theodore r. Westbrook died.
Governor Hill was urged to fill the va
cancy at once. After the election"
was his answer to all pressure. When
the election was over he announced the
appointment of Alton B. Parker to the
judgeship.
In June, 1889, was created the second
division of the court of appeals to ac-
celerate the work Of the highest court.
Judge Parker was designated by Gov
ernor Hill to sit with this new court.
He was only thirty-seven years Of age,
the youngest of all judges of the court

1898. when. upon its dissolution. he

urged thereto by many judges, to be a
member of the general term Of the
supreme court of the First district.
Here he remained until the creation Of
the appellate division of the supreme
court, when he resumed the trial terms
in his own district. In 1897 he was
nominated to be chief justice Of the
court of appeals and was elected by a
plurality of GO.SS9.
That not every one, however, re-
CARDS Judge Parker as Delphic oracle
is shown by the following anecdote:
