Prof. Max Wiegand to Doctor Gustav
Strauch. Berlin, November 20.
Dear Gustav: have some news to
tell you today which will certainly sur
prise you. l have separated from my
wife, or rather we have separated
from each other. We have come to an
amicable agreement henceforth to live
entirely Independent of each other.
My wife has gone to her family in
Freiburg, where she will no doubt re-
main. l am for the present in our
old house; perhaps in the spring l
may look for a smaller house
perhaps not, for l can hardly hope to
find so quiet a workroom as l now
have, and the idea of moving appals
me, especially when l think of my
large library. You will, Of course,
want to know what has happened,
though, to tell the truth, nothing has
happened.
My wife and l are too unlike. Be-
tween her views Of life and mine
there yawns an impossible gulf. The
first few years l hoped to influence
her, to win her to my ways of think
ing-she seemed so docile, so yielding,
took so warm an interest in my work,
so willingly allowed herself to be
taught by me- Not till after our chill
dren's death did she begin to change.
Her grief at this loss-a grief which
neither Of US has ever been able to
live down matured her O..
made her Independent Of me. A ten
dency to morbid introspection took
possession of her and gave increased
tenacity to those ideas and convic-
tons which my influence had hitherto
held in check, though not wholly
eradicated. She plunged deeper and
deeper into those mists of senti-
mentally fantastic imaginings, pas
sionately demanding my concurrence
in her Views. She lost all interest in
my professional work, evidently re-
garding the results of my researches
in natural science as troops from an
enemy's camp. At last there was
hardly a subject in the wide realm of
nature and human existence on which
We agreed. To be sure we never
came to an open quarrel, but the
breach between us was constantly
widening. Every day we saw more
and more plainly that though we lived
side by side, we no longer belonged
to each other. This discovery irritated
and distressed us, and at last forced
all other feelings into the back
ground. If we had not once loved each
other so dearly. or even If we had

Wiegand. Freiburg, December 27.
Dear Max: I very willingly gave you
information as long as it related only
to tickets and sleeve buttons, but |
must decline answering the question
contained in your last letter Did you
really believe, you old Pedant, that I
left your home-which was also mine
because we disagreed in our views
Of matters and things in general?
Then you are nightly mistaken. I
left you because l saw more plainly
every day that you no longer loved
me. Yes, l had become a burden to
you you wanted to get rid Of
me. If in that dignified parting scene
you had said one single tender word
to me, should probably have stayed,
but, as usual, you were on your high
horse, from which you have now had
so lamentable a tumble just because
your servants have left you. l too
have served you faithfully, though you
do not seem to have recognized that
fact. I never let the fire go out on
your hearth. It was not my fault when
It grew cold
Who knows whether you would have
noticed the void left by my going If
your fur coat had not also been miss
ing? This gave you an opportunity

DENMAN HOLDS
CENSUS 1900
Is One on Which to Base Sala'
ries of Incoming Coun
ty Officials.

An opinion of Attorney General Dem
man, rendered on the 2lst, puts the
matter of salaries of incoming county
officials up to the Supreme Court for
a final verdict.
The State Bureau of Inspection and
Supervision wanted to know If county
officers would be paid salaries based
on the federal census of 1900 or on the
last consus. The Attorney General
held that salaries for county officials
elected In November will be based on
the 1900 census.
The Attorney General holds that the
salaries of county officers elected at
the next election and thereafter until
the consus of 1920 is completed and
published will be based upon the CEN
sus of 1910.
Officials in thirty nine counties of
the State, including Mercer County,
would benefit by the Attorney Gene
rails ruling, as that numbe has lost in
population, according to the last census,

Prof. Max Wiegand to DR.. Gustav
Strauch: Berlin, January s.
Dear Gustav: have a great piece
of news to tell you. My wife returned
to me yesterday, and at my earnest
solicitation. l thought could no long
er live with her, but | find It equally
impossible to live without her. | have
Just discovered that she too was very
unhappy during the time Of our sepa-
ration, but she would never have ac-
knowledged it, for hers is the strong
er character of the two. / do not
know how to explain the miracle, but
we love each other more dearly than
ever. We are celebrating a new hon
eymoon. The great questions of life
drove us apart, but is It only the little
ones which have reunited us? Would
you suppose that one could find a
half-dessicated heart in the pocket of
an old fur coat? The stately edifce
of my worldly knowledge totters on
its foundation, dear Gustav have
a great deal to unlearn.

our marriage alone, but at the change

the sleepless nights which have late

the differences in our views of mat

as they seemed to us, whether there is
not outside of them something eternal

wife put cold supper on the table for
me early in the afternoon, for she was

for the fire had gone out and it was
beyond my skill to rekindle it, SO l

this state of affairs might perhaps
have lasted for years, but our ideas
of the true meaning of marriage were
too lofty, our sense Of our own dignity
as human beings too profound to per
NIT us to be content with so incom-
plete realization Of our ideals,

resolution was at once taken and the
decisive words uttered as calmly and
naturally as the overripe fruit falls
from the tree. For the first time in
many years we were able with perfect
unanimity of sentiment to discuss a
subject of the greatest Importance to
us both, and this fact alone soothed
our overwrought nerves. We parted
yesterday with the utmost decorum,
without a word of reproach, a note of
discord. Memories of our early mar

lived together made 1t difficult to re-

a very insolent manner that | knew
nothing about housekeeping, and that
It was only out of sympathy for you,

mained with us at such low wages,
and that she should leave immediate
ly. l answered calmly, but firmly,
that she must stay till the end of her

with a lawsuit for calling her an I'm

fuse to give her a certificate of char
