A Wife 6esser.

George H. Slack was a witness last
week at Chelsea in the case OF State VS..
Mrs. Clark and came home Thursday
night with some money. He planned be-
fore he left Chelsea to go to Braintree the
next day and get rid Of some OF his cash
and, accordingly, be went to Braintree
Friday and got the booze, returning to
his home about 4 O'Clock in q semi-con-
scious condition.
He at once took to bis bed and went to
sleep, which, evidently, was not refresh
ing for he awoke in a very aggressive
frame of mind and, as usual, went for his
wife, struck her in the face and soon gave
her another blow that knocked her down.
He then pounded and kicked her till she
was a mass OF bruises. He broke chairs
and lantern in the melee.
Mrs. Slack finally sent a neighbor's boy
to call Sheriff Kent, and when he arrived
he saw the condition OF Slack and took
him to the lookup at Randolph. On Sat
urday Slack was brought before Justice
H. w. Vail on q charge OF assault and
battery on his wife, waived examination
and was bound over to county court and,
for want OF bail, was lodged in Chelsea
jail.
What excuse can there be for such in
human treatment as Slack gave his wife ?
1t may be said that the Braintree fire-wa-
ter was responsible for it as it probably
was, but where is the protection to life,
even, il such things are permitted We
will wait and see what the county court
thinks OF it when judicial opinion is ex-
pressed.

BOOKS SELECTED
BY DR.. ELIOT
His Five Feet of Classics" To Be
Palace Cars.
Washington Herald.0

In the adoption of the library OF 90
books selected by DR.. Charles w. Eliot
president emeritus of Harvard univer.
sity, the move in the west has been
made by the "five-foot library" OF
controversy, as one of the features
of the palatial club cars which are
part of the S20,000000 new equipment
for its 27-hour service from Chicago
to Denver, to be inaugurated next Sun
day.
This first Eliot library will have
de luxe setting. the book cases are OF
Santiago mahogany, to match the wood
work throughout the writing room and
the ladies' parlor instead of an open
observation platform. Reading in
this sun parlor will be the height OF
travelling luxury so far devised. The
sun room is three feet longer than
observation platforms, Is enclosed in
glass fitted with bronze doors and
disappearing. bronze window sashes,
which part in the center, making it
possible to lower them and open the
sides of the sun room when the usual
discomforts of an observation plat
form are absent.
In such surroundings the classics of

literature never before were housed,
Plato's Apology" "Phaedo," and
"Crito," with which DR.. Eliot headed
his list. and they remind one Of the
marvels of Arabian Night Tales"
which he put second to plato" Daz-
zling light will be there instead of the
eternal darkness in which Milton
wrote the third book on the list,
"Areopagitica." The philosophers of
Benjamin Franklin's autobiography, "
book No. 4, will contain no. Inces
beyond his illusions to ments

contrast to the luxurious interior of

Tales" and Cicero's letters will be
in an atmosphere of novel luxury.

will be there, whisked to the trout

cars, Is feet long, not only are longer
but like the others of the new equip
ment of the Burlington, are distinc
tive to a degree to eclipse any cars in
use in the east or in the country.
