DIVIDED BY A FENCE.

Domestic Trouble of n New Jersey Couple Married Thirty Years. Denrtis Harrington and bis wife of Somerville, N. J., have broken all family fend records. After living together happily, as far as the-world can judge, for more thau thirty years, rearing a family of six children and providing a comfortable home . for themselves, they have parted. They have divided their house,

each taking half. Have built a fence the length of the back yard, so that neither might encroach on the other. Still finding themselves unable to get along at such close range peaceably, the old man rented his half of the house to a Hungarian family, and boards in a nearby street, where lie ean look across at the home of his old age, in which he can no longer live. Recently the strife over this dividing fence became so hot that the wife had the husband arrested, says the Philadelphia North American.
