HUSBAND PAYS $500 FOR PEACE
[Welland Tribune, 9 August 1907]
Meriden, Conn., July 26-Three years of peace for $500 has been purchased by Joseph Boucher of this city. Boucher alleges that life with his wife was “one continual nag,” and that thirty-six months of immunity from persecution is cheap at the price paid. Mrs. Boucher accepted the proposition by signing the following unique contract: “I, Marie Boucher, do hereby agree not to bother my husband, come near him nor ask him for money for the space of three years.” The woman has gone to the home of her parents in Canada. At the expiration, if she wishes, she may return.
