Gentlemen who believe in correcting
their wives by physical methods will
naturally ind much announcement
and satisfaction In the declsion OF
Judge Peabody Of st. Louis. who holds
husband Is justified In chastisIng his
wife In moderation. The trouble Is
that wives have lately developed an In
cIination to do the chastising them
selves. Two recent instances in the
daily papers illustrate this tendency.
One was that Of Mrs. Albina Chcmlik
Of Chicago. who. upon being reproved
by her husband. broke stove leg
over his head. The other concerns
Mrs. Sarah Adams OF Camden, N. j..
who found her husband in saloon
when he should have been ut home
and proceeded to spank him coram
publIco. 1t Is obvious that Judge
Peabody's ruling will afford little
comfort to Messrs. Chemlik and
Adams, nor will 1t aid husbands whose
wives are expert In the handing OF
rolling pins and teakettles as weapons
OF offense and defense. Judge Pea
body may decree that the wife should
submit to chastisement, but II the lady
disregard the ruling 1t Is going to be
dificult to enforce It. We doubt II
the learned judge will institute con-
tempt proceedings to sustain his de-
cision.

Critics Of missions. who delight In
