The Herald presents herewith a
portrait of a familiar face. Benja-
min Neck belongs to the old guard
under the tutorship Of DR.. Lehr. lie
graduated from the o. N. u. in the
classical course way back in 1888, and
his career since that time has been
n continued record OF progress and
success. He is one of the alumni of
our school who has, through sheer
merit, won recognition In his profess
sion, and today is one of the abest
iurists OF northwestern Ohio, emil
nently capable of filing the high posi-
tion he seeks at the hands of the peo-
pie of the Third district. The Dem
ocratic committee, of Crawford coun-
ty has given him unanimous endorse
ment.

and life which appeared in the Daily

opening an Office here. Some time
ago he formed a partnership with Mr..
Frank J. Stalter, of Sycamore, and
the firm still exists with law offices
in Upper sandusky and this city,
In the fall OF 1896 Mr. Neck was
elected on the Democratic ticket as
prosecuting attorney of Wyandot
county and served the people so well
as an official that he was reelected to
the same Office in 1899 for second
term, serving as prosecuting attorney
of the county for six years. At the
end of the second term he was pre-
vailed upon to be q candidate for the
third term but believing in the doc
trine of democracy that two consecu-
tive terms in the same office are
enough declined to make the race for
the third term and retired to private
practice.
Mr.. Meek Is a man OF family hav-
ing a wife and five children and by
his industry and frugal habits has
gained for himself and those depend
ent upon him a competence of no
mean proportions. Socially he Is a
member of the Masonic order of

All of the judges of the circuit
court at present are residents of the
northwestern part of the district and
Mr.. Neck coming from the southeast

him a prestige for this section of the

BENJAMIN Neck is self-made man
and there is without doubt no other
man i'm the judicial district better
qualified for the responsible position

Has Not Good Word to Say for
Frocks or Millinery Of
This Season.

1t is interesting to note the anima-
ton with which women. or rather
some women. attack the present
styles 1t is invariably the woman of
flesh who is the most emphatic in dis
approval Not good word is to be
said by her for frocks or millinery of
this season.
Hats are imprudently absurd. skirts
immodestly cut. jackets trivial. and
even the efforts of great dressmakers
dubbed futile and unconVincing, as she
tells It 1t is a season, according to
the woman whose hips refuse to re-
move themselves, of grotesque absur-
dities. The hysterical note is struck.
So why argue?
Whether we argue or not. certain
things must be acknowledged. The
present fashions in some directions
have reached such perfection that to
condemn them is ridiculous. to ignore
them impossible. So let us forget the
fact that our too comfortable contours
refuse brazenly to confine themselves
within the slim limits of the present
silhouette and see If we cannot Judge
of the fashions of the day with an
unbiased eye. If not with entirely un-
trammeled hips.
In spite of criticism and caricature
they may alone be called epoch ma
king. Line and drapery have clothed
themselves in such artistic grace;
color and fabric have attained such
perfection of combination and weave
that they take their places with fam
GUS fashions of other days.
They are in great measure re-
vivals. yet revivals SO skillfully adapt
ed to our needs and environment that
they are accepted with enthusiasm by
the Intelligent few. The lover of color
and line rejoices In their existence.
the beauty-loving eye revels in their
softly woven and luxurious fabrics.
The great dressmakers have gath

from Egyptians and Orientals. from

Everybody had spoiled Grace. She
