Der of possible future Hardings.
BY observing in minutcst detail the
terms of this remarkable document
Harding and his third wife have al
ready enjoyed two months of life to-
gether without cloud appearing in
their matrimonial sky.
Mrs. Harding Explains.
When Isaiah asked me to marry
him." explained Mrs. Harding the 9TH
er day, Il told him that I didn't feel
like trying matrimony again unless
we could agree on some things that
had troubled me before. Isaiah said
he'd had troubles. too, and he fell
right into the idea That was how
we happened to plan it"
BY the terms of the contract Mr..
and Mrs. Harding agree, in the first
place, that they will live together as
man and wife for fifteen years. This
term Of years was agreed upon after
some difficulty, as Harding wished to
make the contract extend twenty-five
years. Mrs. Engelbrecht argued,
however, that fifteen years was long
enough for experimental purposes,
and Harding came to her terms. else
there would have been no wedding
Fifteen Year Contract.
If they prove unhappy at the end
Of fifteen years their welded life
terminates there and then without
any other proceedings as to the courts
Furthermore, either party has the
right at the time to declare the con-
tract null and void If within the
fifteen years either becomes dissatis-
fled he or she must obtain a separa-
ton through the courts in the usual
legal form. ....
Both Harding and Mrs. Englebrecht
owned valuable farm land, he in DIAL
las county and she near Dcs Moines.
1t was necessary to make careful ar.
rangements for the control of these
properties. ...
BY the contract they cut their prop.
erty valuation in two and each set
ties half on children by former mar.
riages. Harding has son and a
daughter and the wife has two sons
and a daughter. Their personal prop.
erty is likewise divided among the
children.
In speaking OF children, it may not
be amiss TO mention that contract
provides definitely and stringently
that there shall be but three little
ones born to the new Harding family.
The penalty for the violation of this
rule is not set down in the document
but it is presumed that 1t might be
regarded as grounds for separation
at the end Of tho fifteen years.

The result was the most remark
