Judge Herrick's charming manner, his
ready grace, his wit, his scholarliness, and
his learning make him welcome guest in
any home.
The Judge is not rich man himself, nor
a poor man. He has what Oliver Wendell
Holmes describes as just enough. He has
made no fortune, whether in politics or
on the bench, and he is not Interested in any
schemes of any kind. He owns a pretty
house in Albany and is comfortable and that
is all He has enough for his needs and is
beyond worry.
Judge Herricks family consists of six
members. They are the Judge and his
wife; Miss Helen Herrick, Miss Bertha
Herrick, Charles Herrick and Miss Sails
bury, Mrs. Herrick's sister
The Herrick family is the most united
fa N l.
Gus. But all agree that there is not another
family like the Herrick family in all the
Empire State! SO there is no reason for
not making the fact public.
The Judge is in love with his family and
his family are in love with him. And there
is no mistake about IT, When you see the
Judge you are pretty sure to see his family
also
Il went up to interview the Judge" said
a politician. Il arrived at 9 o'clock in the
evening and the Judge sat at dinner with his
family. ] called again at and he sat in
the library surrounded by his family. At
10 called and he was still surrounded by
his family
1t would be hard to find the Judge when
he is not surrounded by his family.
Mrs, Herrick, like the Judge, comes of
an old Albany family. Her name was
Salisbury, and it is impossible to find time
when the Salisbury family didn't live in
Albany. There is rumor that an ancestor,
a great great-grand uncle, tended the gates
Of the city when Fort Orange was a small
settlement,
Certainly the two families arc the oldest
thereabouts. In the Herrick gcnealogy,
recently published, there is an account of
the family doings in the days when sail
boats were the only craft on the Hudson
And another published Renealogy tells
how n member of the Salisbury family sent
200 miles for n pair Of silk stockings in which
to dance at the Governors inauguration.
SO, being a Governor will not be such a
startling innovation to Judge Herrick
He has been prepared for il by long line
OF good ancestry.
1t is said in these days that a man can
not obtain his education In Lis native town.
But Judge Herrick's location was OBJ
tanned entirely in the Dutch town to which
he came when he wore dresses and where
he has since lived.

waite schools, and as he grew older he studied
under tutors and in private schools, col
