Judge Goodnow Qualities
Suggestion AS to Adop-
tion of Delaware Law.
NOTHING ELSE REACHES
Real Culprit Is Not the One to Suffer
From Heavy Fines and
Jail Sentences.
Especial Correspondenee).

The attitude of Judge Charles n.
Goodenow Of the South Chicago branch
of the municipal court toward the
subject of wife beating has been the
occasion of comment on several occa-
sions. A recent interview with Judge
Goodenow on the subject, printed in
Chicago morning paper, prompted THE
LAKE COUNTY TIMES to ask him for an
extended statement of his views. In
response to a question by a represen-
tative Of this paper, Judge Goodnow
said:
THE experiences OF judge in the
municipal court in such district as
South Chicago point to the necessity
for a special statute covering the
crime of wife beating. Such a statute
should define the offense so as to sep
arate it from the offense known as
disorderly conduct, covered by section
1l54 of the city ordinances and under
which nearly every case Of wife-beat-
ing is brought. When a defendant is
brought into court on such a charge,
the court should be empowered by the
statute to transfer the case to a trib
unal of three judges, who could set
regularly or specially for the hear
ing of such cases, and the decision of
at least two of the judges should be
all that is necessary-the unanimous
decision should not be required.
In advocating the whipping post l
am impelled by a realization of the
absence of an adequate punishment
for wife beating in the average case
In the South Chicago branch of the
municipal court the hearing of such
cases is of frequent occurrence, and
nearly always the evidence is such as
to call for the severest penalty it is
possible for the court to inflict, but
the situation af the family of the de-
fendane after the infiction of such a
penalty, would be tenfold worse than
before however bad conditions in the
home might have been. With the hus
band and father locked up for a period
of several months, the care of the fam
lily descends on the mother and the
older children, and frequently they be-
come public charges.
II believe the tribunal ought to be
able to say to the defendant is such
a case, We will mete out such a pun
ishment to you as you will remember
as long as you live, and you are sem
fenced to receive twenty five lashes on
your bare back, and 1 venture the as
sertion that 1t would only be necessary
to give a wife-beater one taste of the
lash to cure him forever, and / also
believe that it would not be necessary
to inflict the maximum penalty in more
than two or three cases before wife
beating would become lost art in
the city of Chicag
AS an example Of the judges attitude
/ toward wife beaters. this morning he
fined Peter Gujik of 430 Eighty eighth
street $25 and costs for using a razor
strop as means of disciplining his
wife The testimony developed that
the Guziks lived in a continual state
of domestic warfare. Guziks made the
admission that he struck his wife twice
with the strop. and Judge Goodnow
promptly said: Using that razor
strop will cost you So and costs"

DOGS CANNOT REASON.


 IThe dog is no doubt, the most intel ligent of our domestic animals, and yield to none in my affection for him. can almost eat and sleep with a fine dog winter and summer. But T try not to deceive myself about his intelligence. It seems to me that if the dog had the least spark of wit akin to our own, that is, power of req son, his long association with man would have famed 1t into a flame, however small, But after all these thousands of years of human com panionship and love, he has less wit in some respects than his wild broth CTS, the fox and the wolf. Having been spared the struggle to live that falls to their lot, his cunning and sagacity have deteriorated The same is true of the horse, which has less inte1li- genoe than the wild stallion of the plains, and for the same reason. These animals do not grow wiser as they grow less wild They do not civiiize or develop. We train them into oerr tain ways that make them serviceable to us; we humanlze them without adding to their mental capacity. In other words we cannot cross our irtel- llgence upon theirs and make it fruit ful in them. The germ will not take. -From Animal and Plant Intelli- gence," by John Burroughs in the Outing Magazine for December.

Traditions Regarding the Death of Sir
 Cloudesley Shovel.
 squadron under Sir cloudesley Shovel on the rocks off the Sicily Isles. to- gether with the death ofsits gallant commander, the greatest seaman of the age, 6 number of curious tradi- tions are associated both with the events leading up to the catastrophe and the fate of the celebrated admiral
 The outstanding feature of the ca tastrophe is the mystery of shoyel's death, which will probably never be solved. and the latter turns unon the aomiraFs emerald ring. One story goes that the body was picked up on the shore by a soldier and his wife. and buried by them on Forth HelIiclr sands. A spot is still shown at porfh Helliek as being the burial place of the admiral, and according to tradition grass has never grown upon it. sub- sequently the identity of the corpse was discovered. The remains were ex- humed and conveyed to London. via plymouth, where they were embalmed. Lady Shovel rewarded the soldier with a pension for life, and received from nm the ring found on Sir Cloudes- ley's finger.
 Another story is that Paxton tha purser of the Arundel, discovered two st' Mary men quarreling over the pos session of ring He at once recog- nlzed 1t as Shovels' ring, and incuired rom which body 1t had been taken. and when that was found he knew and claimed the body Lastly, there is the startling narrative of foul play. viK that many years after the wreck an aged woman confessed the parish. minister on her death bed that. ex- hausted with fatigue one man, who haa been washed ashore on a hatch. reached her hut, and that she had murdered him to secure the valuable property on his person. She then pro- dueed a splendid emerald ring, taken from the finger of her victim, and identified as the gift of Lord Berkeley to Shovel.
 The responsibility for this story rests upon the admiral's grandson, the Earl of Komney. Modern research re- ports rather in favor of the murder theory. The ring was eventually re- covered, and altered into the form of locket and set with diamonds it Is $ precious relic of the Berkeley family.
 The theory as to how 1t passed into the possession of the family of the original donor is that Lady Shovel re- ceived it from the murderess as stated, and bequeathed it at her death to Lord Berkeley Several old works of refer ence contain the baseless story that Lady Shovel was aboard the Associa- tion and was drowned along with her husband. By the way, her ladyship's ghost is supposed to walk at midnight in the avenue of May Place, Dartford. Kent once the home of the Shovels.

THE DANCE OF LOVE" by Dion Clayton Calthrop; Henry Holt & Co.,, New York.
 A book sure to excite attention for it's merits. The publishers readers do not err in advising this firm that Mir Calthrop's Dance of Love-" has reminded them, by its fine qualities, of Hewlitt's Forest Lovers" while in the authors ability to make beautiful women live before the eyes of the reader, it has recalled to another lit erary adviser the work of Hawthorne. It is the story of an ideal love quest with a medieval setting, MT Cal throp is an authority on mediaeval customs and costumes, and took a large part in designing the dresses for the splendid Oxford pageant.
 The book tells of the quest of Pipin for an ideal woman and in this lauda- ble and Quixotic endeavor he leaves England. He meets several women whose qualifications of face, form and accomplishments seem to merit his turning on the search light of his mental equipment of the women he met each gives the title to chapter Yolande, Clare, Phillppa, Gabrielle, Margot, Nanette, Anita, etc., it reads like Villon. There are adventures by the wayside, nothing of the wild wind Or sensational type. Concerning it the New York Sun says: Tn it's brilliant pageantry many and divers figures pass and epass, appear and disappear in artistic groupings A wild young dreamer with the wanderlust in his veins and the eagerness of youth in his heart starts out on a quest of love- The key to every mans life l is hung on chain around the neck of woman" so his mother had told him, and he went forth gayly in search of the woman.
 All this was in the days of romantic pilgrimages and stirring adventure. l The author, Dion Clayton Calthrop, 1 has caught the spirit of the time anC has written his story gracefully and with skill He has the quality of 1 humor which saves his extraordinary 1 adventures from absurdity. He has ] the quality of humor which saves his extraordinary adventures from ab- ] surdity. He has also much ingenuity in arranging the unexpected and vary ing his imaginary happenings with clever devices. Before this hero de- parts upon his quest he kissed 8 gir good-by in an orchard-a girl calle
