an explanation of that" replied the
great philosopher. "Abaris, chief OF
the Druids, and by the same token an
Irishman like yourself of great learn
ing and valiant deeds, taught me the,
doctrine '"That's true" says the saint,
land a great and learned man he was,
and so we're you, and l WILL denver
you, but you will have to go to my
purgatory and be there prepared for
a higher life' With that the saint
touched the toad with his pastoral
staff, when an explosion loud as thun-
der took place and Pythagoras was
liberated and few away with Joy to
Tough Derg, in Donegal, where he en-
tered Patrick's purgatory.
The legend of the purgatory, too, is
interesting. The saint was in hot pur-
suit. of Satan. He was standing on
top of Nephin Mountain, from which
he gave a sprint and landed on a
rock in the bed Of the river Moy that
still retains his footprint. Then with
a bound he lands on CROUCH Patrick,
when Satan fees the land. The devils
mother still remains and the saint now
turns his attention to her. She fees
away to the north, the saint in pur-
suit. He overtakes her in a desolate
bog in Donegal, and to escape him she
rushes into a lake, where all the
leeches in the "b1ack north had con-
gregated. They instantly seize her,
insert their fangs in her body, and
she bleeds to death. The waters be-
come colored red with her blood, and
have remained so ever since, hence
the name Tough Derg. Almighty con-
course Of people had assembled and
the saint preached to them about the
torrents of the lost. The Druids an.
swered they couldn't accept such a
doctrine without oracular demonstra-
ton. Then the saint prayed for a few
moments, when suddenly. there was q
loud report, a mighty explosion took
place, the earth opened with yawn-
ing cavity, an island was upheaved in
the Tough, and in its center was
formed cave, which became the
entrance to the purgatory. No legend
so well authenticated by the most re-
spectacle authority has ever existed
than that Of st. Patrick's purgatory.
It forms the foundation Of Dante's
Inferno, and in the middle ages it
threw the legend of ''the Wandering
Jew completely in the shade.

we might say it partook of the con-

an Life on Farm.


 Judge Alton Brooks Parker. candidate for presldeaeg on the democratic ticket was born, a farmers son, May II. 1852 He did not yearn to be a farmer. but he learned much about what a farmer boy must Go to keep himself in good standing with bis own family.
 As early as he could he attended an town, and later drew from the Cortland Normal school all the equipment for life that it could give him.
 He deiehted in study. being anxious to complete bis e 6ueetion by a thorough college training, desiring especially to take a course at Cornell university. Ills parents were net able to send him to college, or even to take care of him while he was trying to find a foothold At the age of 16 fe became a country sehool-teacher
 He wandered as far afoot from home as the village of Rochester, in Ulster county, to find a school in which he could earn three dollars a day. The dream of a college life faded away Reluctantly

He was admitted to the office of Sehoonmaker ( Hardenbergh, of King ston, N Y as law student Both of those men wore emineatin their profes- sion. Working his way. young Parker was finally enabled to enter the Albany law school, gravitating between the of ice of his preceptors at Kingston and the law school according to season and necessity.

A Stirring Incident.


 That Judge Parker is a man of action and a doer as well as student and man Jt meditation was well evidenced in q matter which is part of the history of tha city of Kingston. One September day. in 1891. the Ulster County Savings bank of which he was a trustee, closed its doors suddenly because of embezzle- ments on the part of the treasurer and assistant treasurer, which could nc long CT be concealed. Ii was a bank which had deposits of s2.500000 and the em- bezzlement amounted to $400 000 wip- ing ou3 thesupposed surplus and making a deficiency The bank had invested .a 8{t 800 GOO. in real estate mort saRF aue-half of which were on the farms in Ulster county. To wind up the business of the bank, by appointing a temporary receiver. and distribute the assets pro rata-the ordinary way would be to foreeIose these mortgages, throw many dn the market, reduce their values and ruin the farmers and inflict further loss. on the depositors. At the time Judge Parker was at his farm at Accord, but hearing of the disaster he hurried to an investigation. There were other trustees, among them Gen. George Hs Sharpe, but Judge Parker, in his mas terfulness. became the onlysone. His first act was to lodge the assistant treas urer in jail that night.

Personal Characteristics.

Judge Parker, man of g years last May, does not look his age by ten of them. He is a handsome specimen of manhood, standing six feet in his shoes His hair is a reddish color. his eyes a hazel brown with a reddish tinge, his face wears the tarnished livery of the sun with the same reddish tinge His nose is aquiline and aggressive and his chin is aggressive in it's breadth and thrust forward. This high color first at tracts attention, then his chin, which conveys the impression of great will power. dogged adherence to a purpose once made and determination to carry forward the enterprise agreed upon The nose claims attention. with it's showing of force and investigative power The coarse. red mustache between chin and nose tells you of yirility, and by this time you are beginning to think, perhaps, that the animal qualities predominate. until the eyes engage your attention, when those windows of the soul tell you that if there are animal qualities in the makeup of the man they are in control and are tempered by kindly disposition and an acute intelligence that is wide awake and eognizant of all thatis trans piring within their ken. Above rises a high. broad, smooth. white forehead, which is symmetrical, in it's slope pre- serving the fullness ee. intellectual part without miniD f'4at ce .aele- tration and observation r you gre phfenologist, you will say that he Is a man who is fond of music. that he is a good guesser of weights and in his youth had an inclination toward Athletic sports especially of a gymnastie. nature, with fine sense of color and the quality of telling the time of the day without consulting the watch And you will also determine from that high, broad ,white forehead that he thinks without effort. with unusual powers of concentration. that with litte difficulty he.remoNes bis mind from one consideration to another without friction, that he has wonderful nefsous endurancei and oanvlabor for longer hours with less fatigue than most men.

Of Executive Power.

It is but natural perhaps, that. on first thought. the disposition should be to re- gard Judge Parker as a student who was immersed in mental speculations wholly given to the intellectual process of weighing principles. But there is Q large executive side to the man which has found play in the management, by proxy of three farms. one on which he was born, in Cortland; one in Accord. which came under his management through his wife. and one at Esopus. which is his home farm and each is un- der his direction and each is actually maaing money for him. It is this side of him that shis associate, Judge John Clinton Gray. paid tribute 10 when he said:
 q take occasion to say that under the attentive leadership and Hnwearying efforts of the present chief judge of this court, that under his management the present arrangement has worked ad- mirably, wonderfully, smoothly and well, His loyalty to the decisions of the court, his studious consideration of the principles and of the points ill each case, his great talent and unfailing tact and courtesy and firmness make him an ad- mirable chief judge, and 1 add, in thus speaking of him. know voice the opinion of each of my associates.

appointments made by Gov. Hill after his election was that of MT. Parker to the judgeship made vacant by the death of Justice Westbrook. By some this dis position of Parker has been interpreted as indicating desire on the part of Gov. Hill to shelye a man who was ris- ing to such a height that he might soon be an obstacle to FiH's ambitions.
 This was gratifying to Parker. no mat ter what may have been HiII's motives. Judge Parker had net been long upon the supreme court bench before the peo- pie of the state began Co appreciate his ability as jurist as well as politician. When election time came he enjoyed the rare distinction of being the single candidate oi the two great parties and was elected without opposition.

vision of the court of appeals. Judge Parker was designated by Gov. Hill to sit in this new court. He was then only 33 years of age, the youngest of all the judges of the court of appeals. He sat in this court until 1883, when. upon it's dissolution Gov. Flower made him one of the judges Of the general term of the supreme court of the first district. This assignment brought Judge Parker into intimate association with the New York bar. He remained in New York until the creation of the appellate division of the supreme court when he resumed. trials in his own district
 In 1897 he was nominated to be chief judge Of the court of appeals and was elected by plurality of 60SS9
 Judge Parker always rejoiced in his judicial career and did a good deal to re- move the congestion of cases in this. the highest court Of the state.

Entrance Into Politics.

In 1877, when he was 25, the democrats of Ulster county nominated him for surrogate, He was elected for a six year term. and in 1883 was reelected. While he was thus winning his way to a place of honor and profit in his own town Samue J. Tilden had inspired him with ideas about government and party politics His frequent visits to Albany had brought him into association with Daniel Manning. Edgar K. Apear and other active men. and his cleVeruess in leadership in his county had eiren him political prestige among the party lead- CTS. He soon formed an acquaintance with Daniel S Lamont.
 h 1884 he was a delegate to the con vention 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 offered the position of first assistant postmaster general to Judge Parker and the. offer was declined.
 About tbisttime David d. Hill, who was then governor of New York, filling Cleveland's unexpfred term, came to know Parker very well He sent to Kingston for him and offered him the chairmanship of the state executive committee, as Hill thought the probabil- ity of his being eleeted was taot very bright.
 Against his wishes he was appointed chairman of the state executive com mittee, and applying himself to the work he had reluctantly accepted, he over- came the apathy of his party and saw his candidate victorious by II ,00O plural ity in the state inswhich Cleveland had with difficulty secure about 1 200 plus rality the preyious year

For many years they lived in a handsome house in kingston owned by the fadee. but a great love for the country and for country life drew him each sgripe to an old farmhouse rear Accord where ne could dip into agriculture There were two children-a son. who died when seven years old. and daughter. Bertha, who is the wife of Rev. Charles Mercer Hall of Kingston. Mr. and Mrs Hall have two children
 For many years the judge wanted to secure country home on the banlze of the Hudson This ambition he was abIe 10 realize not long ago. when he nur- chased an estate, with a fine residence at Esopus. It is known as Resepaonrt hall. Here he spends as much time os he can in tending to his farm Ha de- ilght to go out with the farmhands and help them work the farm.
