great deal Of his time in Albany his
home is at the farm Of Esopus-" Rose
mount" it is named. When te is in
Albany he lives at the Ten Eyck hotel.
The first moment that his official duties
will let him get away he hurries TO
Rosemount. Here most Of his decisions
are written. His great library overlook
ing the Hudson is more complete than
any to be found in a big New York law
Office Whether at Albany or at Esopus,
he keeps the habits Of the farm. His
fad is cattle-a certain red breed which
he imported from England.
The fear has been expressed that the
quiet judicial mind Of Judge Parker
would contrast badly with the vivid per
aonality Of President Roosevelt Around
Esopus, where his vigorous activities are
so well known, this would create sur.
prise. Though Judge Parker has beer
on the bench since he was twenty-sis
years old-and he is now fifty-three-
those who see him in the glow of healti
can never associate him with the quiet
retiremen, Of the bench There is no
the first hint Of the sedentary abou
him.
Judge Parker is native Of New York
His parents were too poor to send hin
to college, but he graduated from nor
NAL school in his native county, intend
ing to be teacher. 1t was as teache
that he went to [ lister county, where h
lives. He taught for $500 a montl
and boarded with a neighbor. Then h
studied law on his savings. Later h,
went to the law school at Albany. Still
later he became lawyer at Kingston
He has steadily refused to become cit,
man. He has declined many tempta
tions and proffers. He bought the farm
at EsOpus as a home for the rest Of hi
life, 1t being his highest ambition to con
tinue to hold his office on the court @
appeals bench until he became too oil
to servc.-COllier's Weekly.

ALTON 3. PARKER
Was Raised on a Farm ard His
Home Today Is On a
Farm.

If simple habits, a farm rearing old
fashioned neighborliness and hospitality
are virtues that the American voter
loves in president-shen Judge Parker
has the beginnings Of strong candi-
date. 1t is almost an anachronism that
man who has kept so close to the soil
and to the simple old ways should arise
from country village to stand az the
hope Of a great political party.
Judge Parker was born on farm,
his home today il on a farm nine miles
from the nearest town. There is a sig
niiicance in the fact that the greatness
which now singles him ont as candi-
date Of his party has radiated from the
country village where, as young man
he began the study Of law, and where
he courted his wife lie has never
found it necessary to leave that village
or to give up his simple life.
His home, which has become the
mecca Of democratic leaders and polite
ians from every section OF the Union, is
a place Of ninety acres, with house on
it such as may be found OH thousands Of
other farms throughout the United
States 1t is eight miles from Kingston,
and Judge Parker drives into town ev-
cry Sunday to hear his son-in-law preach
at the Episcopal church. Judge Parker
bears the certain stamp Of the country
1t is in the bold, vigorous swing of his
giant frame and in the deep outdoor in
granting OF his sunburned lace. In size
he is over six feet, and as erect as a
soldier. He is trained to the minute by
a daily routine Of outdoor exercise that
would delight the strenuous president.
He is big-armed, heavy-shouldered and
strong, from a youth of hard work on
the farm. His face is flushed with
health, and his eyes are clear and spark
ling. His mustache is red; his hair OF a
darker shade tinged with gray. His face
is that OF man with a slumbering TEN
per that it would be dangerous to arouse
Though his official duties keep him q
