Has to Stand for It.

Poor Parker. With a sudden wrench
He jumped from the judicial bench.
And sought the Presidential chair,
But we will not let him sit there.
And now he asks, with puzzled frown:
20, where, o. where, can I sit down? -

A man must think he has a sure thing
when he is willing to bet 4 to l on Roose-
welt, and a man must be willing to say
good by to his money when he takes the
small or Parker end Of such odds. But
these are the odds to-day that paralleled
the odds on Mckinley ut the close Of the
campaign in 1900.

In Wall street the Democrats say
President Roosevelt is too strenuous in

Judge Parker was born May II. 1852.
at Cortland. \. Y. and was the sou or
O farmer. Two hundred years ago his
ancestors had come from England and
settled in New England. From genera
ton to generation they were 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 a SOL
dier In the ranks Of Washington's
army.
AS early US 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 it could give him. His
parents were not able to send him to
college or even to take care OF MIN
while he was trying to find foothold.
At sixteen he became q country school
teacher.
Reluctantly he was obliged to give
up the hope of u 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, lie was ad-
mitted to the office Of Schoonmaker
& Hardenbergh Of Kingston as 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 at
Kingston.
He speedily demonstrated decided
ability for political management.
From tho start he was Democrat.

of very moderate means, he is prob

cles hard and his mind clear and keen

back riding, driving and walking and

He Is alert and energetic in his ap-
pearance, movements and speech. His
manner in association with friends Is
afrable and kindly and without the self
assertiveness of the Judge.
His conversational habit is to be d.
rect and frank and scrupulously care
full in bis choice of expressions. Usu-
ally when bis opinion Is asked on any
subject his reply is instantly ready.
Judge Parker Is one Of the best ex-
amples of a self made man In the
United States today. Born poor, he
has built up a small fortune that am
ply provides for his needs, and above
that he appears to have no further am
bition in q monetary way. His three
farms, one at Cortland, another at Ac-
cord and the third at Esopus, complete
his land possessions, and In all bis
wealth is estimated at not more than
$4,000.

In 1877, when he was twenty-five, the
Democrats Of Ulster county nominated
him for surrogate Of the county. He
was elected for a six year term and In
1888 was reelected.
In 1884 he was a 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-
ant Governor Hill the uncompleted
term of Office he was obliged to sur
render to become president.
Governor Hill was nominated in the
fall. The Democratic party was worn
out with the efforts 1t had made In
the preceding year, its money was ex-
hausted. and it's stock Of patience was
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 1000 plurality In
the state in which Cleveland had with
difficulty secured about 100 the year
before.
During tEe campaign Supreme Court
Justice Theodore R. Westbrook died
Governor Hill was urged to I'LL 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-seyen years Of age.
the youngest of oil judges Of the court
Of appeals. He sat in this court until
1893, when, upon Its dissolution. he
was appointed by Governor Flower,
urged thereto by many judges. to he
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:
A very abfe New YORK attorney who
was quite deaf and very sensitive
was arguing a case before the New
York court of appeals. He dwelt at

length upon fundamental law princi-
pie. Finally Judge Parker interrupted.
1T would seem, Brother -. that
you infer that this court is not well
versed in this elementary law point"
Now. the attorney didn't catch what
was said. but he made 1t a rule to
agree always with what the court said;
so. smiling and bowling. he said:
Precisely. your honor; precisely. You
have stated the proposition correctly"
The court laughed, Judge Parker
smiled. and the lawyer continued bis
argument.
Nonconspicuous in the public eye
has been Mrs. Mary D. Parker. the
wife of Judge Parker. This Is because
she has led an unusually quiet life.
Mrs. Parker was born at Accord. In
the township of Rochester, In Ulster
county, and Is daughter Of the late
Moses |. Schoonmaker. Her early life
was passed upon the farm upon which
she was born. Her girlhood was pass
ed at Accord, and was much the same
as that of most American girls reared
in the country. She continued to re-
side at Accord until her marriage to
Judge Parker.
Since then Mrs. Parker has spent her
time between Albany and Esopus, with
frequent visits to Kingston. the home
of her daughter. Bertha Parker Hall.
wife Of the rector Of the Mission
Church Of the Holy Cross.
The Schoonmakers. from whom she
is descended. were among the early
Dutch settlers of New York state. and
the good Dutch vrouws would look
with pride upon so worthy descend
ant and daughter.
