Nagle and Catherine, his wife, for
which reason they have consented to
live separately and apart from each
other during their natural lives. q.
He will not, without her consent, visit
her, or knowingly enter any house
where she may dwell or reside" d.
It viii be observed that the husband
agrees that he Will not enter any house
in which his wife may be, and he says
that he will be only TOO glad to abide
by that part of the articles of sep
aratiOn.
Mrs. Nagle has resumed her resi-
dence in the old homestead at st. Law
renee, which she entered as a bride
and has occupied ever since. 1t was
there that she was found and ques-
toned by a Chicago Tribune reporter
as to her views on marriage, when she
declared:
Never get married. That's my ad-
vice I've found little happiness IN the
welded state, and the same is the case
with a large percentage of others.
There are some in my own neighbOr-
hood. You read of others in the news
papers, and some don't say much about
it. We didn't have much money when
we started out in life together. We
were economical and thrifty, and
thought that its possession would
bring me cOntentment. In that I was
mistaken, We accumulated little com
pared with the great fortunes Of the
world, but it was enough for our needs
and yet we were not happy.
There was a time when believed
that the possession of money would
bring me, as a married woman, the
greatest satisfaction in the world, but
l found that l was mistaken. Young
man, just take this advice: Don't get
married, and accept this as the truth:
Money alone brings neither content
ment nor happiness"
Mr.. Nagle has gone to live on one of
the farms which he secured by the di-
vision of their property. 1t is in the
eastern section of the county, about
ten miles from St. Lawrence, and there
he expects to spend the remainder of
his days. Unless they should happen to
meet by chance, it is not likely that
they will see each other on this side
of the grave. They simply have al
lowed the fires Of love to die out, and
not a spark Of affection remains.
advised you not TO get married, did
she?' he said. $50 do that's what I
say. 1t brought us no happiness. We
weren't contented, and so we decided
to separate. Marriage in our case, as
In many others, was a fat failure"

DON'T Ghf MARRIED.
So Say Both Man and Wife After
Long Experience.
Welded Life, in the Case OF This Ven-
cradle Couple, Was a Flat Fall
ure-Neither Found Any
Real Happiness.

''NeVer get married" Such is the
advice given to young people by Mrs.
Reuben Nagle, a farmer of St. Law
renee, Pa sad faced woman Of 20
years. Her husband is about the same
age, and for half a century they lived
together as man and wife.
Only the other day they agreed to
live apart, and they went about
making the arrangements apparent
ly without a pang of regret. First,
they went TO an attorneys office
and he drew up the papers. Next
they had deeds prepared making an
equal division of their property. They
started out in life with little, and
wound up half a century of matri-
mOny with about $4,000 invested in
real estate and securities. This was
amicably divided without the shadow
of a difference. The lawyer, having
prepared the papers, handed them to
the couple and the husband paid his
fee. Then they walked 10 the court
house together, filed the papers in the
recorders Office, and in the corridor
of the building separated without a
display of any emotion whatever.
"Well, goOd-by," he said, and she re-
piled "Good-by." They did not even
shake hands, only the slightest nod
as each went his or her own way.
Their neighbors declare that they
never knew them to quarrel, though
they often had strong differences of
opinion. 'In fact" said Mr. Nagle, I'VE
drifted as naturally into the idea of
separating as we did into matrimOHy.
We simply decided to live apart be-
cause we weren't happy, and that's all
there is about it,

As HIS Gifts Have Not Procured Him
Peerage He viii Seek seat -
in Parliament.

Sir Thomas Mpton's big gifts to all
sorts OF philanthropies having failed
to convince Lord Salisbury of.the pro-
prlety OF giving him seat in the house
OF lords, even at the kings request, the
doughty barOnet has decided TO work
his way up to the peerage through
politics.
For years Upton was Il much sought
after candidate for parliamentary con-
E1tuencies, and especially since he be-
came knight has he had offers of safe
seats IN all parts of the country. He
has now decided to take the next
chance that presents itself.
His present political views are doubt
tuI. Some years ago he proclaimed

given to Gen. Russell A. Alger by Gov.
Bliss-has been the representative of
the Second Michigan district since 1899,
and is a well-known lawyer in his state.
He is IS years old. a native Of New York
and has lived in Adrian, Mich, since his
youth. In 1850 he was admitted to the
bar, and in that very year made his
debut in politics as city attorney. He
was a delegate to the St. Louis conyen-
ton Of 1896. Mr.. Smith has appeared
successfully-in many celebrated law
cases, among them that of the family
mileage case against the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern road.

himself an enthusiastic home ruler,
and being an lrishman, having extern
sive business relations with the late
Joseph Biggar, declared revolution
ist, Upton was considered good enough
to be offered a seat in parliament in the
nationalist interest. His generous
purse would have been welcomed. He
declined the invitation on the ground
that while he believed in home rule
within certain limitations, he could not
subscribe to the separatist policy.
Since the death of Mr.. Gladstone, Sir
Thomas political views have changed,
and, as he is an intimate friend of Lord
Rosebery, it is more than likely he will
enter parliament under the banner of
that statesman TYho has nearly all the
aristocratie lady pohticians-with
whom Sir Thomas is 50 pOpular-On his
side
The constituency in which Sir ThOm-
as lives has invited him 10 contest the
seat in the liberal interest. but there is
a conservative majority there which it
would be almost impossible to upset.
If Sir Thomas could have the choice he
would prefer a Scotch seat. and Glas-
Cow, where he laid the foundation Of
his huge business. would welcome him
as a representative. It is certain that
he will be soon in the house of COM
mons. and. with Lord Rosebery as his
guide, philosopher and friend, his
progress in reaching the upper house
should be neither slow nor hazardous.
