THINKS AND THINGS.

Good intentions will avail man
nothing, but honest efforts never
go unrewarded.
Some people are SO busy looking
out for other peoples faults they
have no time to devote to the over
coming of their own.
When fellow gets to the bot
tom of the stairs on drill day and
finds he has forgotten his cap in
his apartment he looks about as
pleasant and cheerful as if the
dentist was about to separate him
from a refractory molar.
Without the sweet memories Of
the past lifesswould be empty and
cheerless; without some hope for
the future life would be dismal
and foreboding; but without the
respect and goodwill of our fellow
man life would be all in vain.
The more we have the more we
want. It is mistake to think we
would be satisfied even if our every
wish was grati6ed. So let us make
the best Of what We have, thus MAX
ing ourselves more worthy for the
better things the future may have
in store.
DIR. jacques Be1tillon, the ia
nous French physician, has made
the startliag statement that those
who wish to live long should mar
ry young. In view of the fact
that the name of the matri-

represents is omitted the statement
has produced terrible sensation.

the writer-that the good alone die

YOUNGER SENATORS
 WANTED IN ITALY
Signor Luzzati to Reform
 Legislative Body

ROME, May 14.-Before the new gov ernment is much older, according to wellinformed politicians, Signor Lu- zati will set about reforming the. senate. Meanwhile the public is joining in the discussion as to how it should be done. Contrary to the British agitation, the outcry here is that the upper house should be more active and assert itself more.
 Part of this inertia is due to the rule that nobody can enter the senate before the age of 40. Many of the senators are indeed weary old men whose active work is over. Others are officials dis posed to let things run smoothly and disinclined to be aggressive.
 Senator Pierantoni, a prominent law yer, advocates the reduction of the min imum age of admission to 30 and the election of one senator from every two constituencies sending deputies.

Spiders Secreted in Food to Secure
 Free Meals

PARIS, May 14.-Andre Laturbe, a young Parisian who thought he had solved the problem of living at other peoples expense, was arrested today for most ingenious fraud.
 His method was to go to fashionable restaurant and dine well. When he got to the cheese stage he produced from his pocket a little tn box full of spiders. To execute a couple of spiders on the plate from which he was eating his cheese was the work of a ninstant. Then he called the waiter and protest ed loudly against filthiness of supplying food with spiders in it.
 On the arrival of the manager he protested still more loudly, and the ruse invariably ended by the distracted manager hushing up the thing by in- viting the outraged customer to take glass of old brandy and rendering profuse apologies. Of course the waiter was instructed to present no bill.
 But this afternoon Laturbe, in choos- ing a restaurant where he had not been before, happened to choose one that employed a waiter who had seen his trick at another establishment. This man quietly sent for police, and when Laturbe had been arrested and was searched the box of spiders was found in his pocket.

Mrs. Taft Dismisses Secre- tary-Alice Longworth
 to Have Salon
By ELINOR COLLINS.

(Written expressly for this newspaper )
 WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14.- Mrs. Taft created mild sensation by dismissing her social secretary, Miss Kat Dandrige Spiers, after two weeks service.
 The only reason thus far assigned by the social interested world is that Miss Spiers was not "up' in international social etiquette, for the members of the international diplomatic corps are indeed sticklers on etiquette to say nothing of few of our own dignitar- ies.
 That is, the members of the foreign delegation, as well as our own justices, senators, cabinet officers, etc, are will. ing to stir up an awful row, and in a remarkably short space ol time, if they are not seated at a table, in exact ac- cordance with their official rank and station. They justify their sensitiveness as to "precedence and seats of honor" with the explanation that while they are somewhat indifferent as individuals, the dignity of their offices requires them to insist upon recognition such as they are officially entitled to-. This they will have, even though it is neces- sary to resort to arms.
 'Uncle Joe Cannon is one of our own great men who insist upon every thing that is comino to them in the way of social honors. The Speaker refus- ed to attend banquet recently because

Old Woman Fined Immense Sum for
 Smuggling Cards

VIENNA, May 14.-An old woman living near the Bohemian Saxon from tier, has been condemned to a fine of $210 or two months imprisonment for bringing into Austria an old pack of cards which had been given to her for her grandchildren to play with, and which she had failed to declare at the Austrian custom house.
 The duty would have been cents, but the judge fixed the fine at $3.6O on every card in the pack, or over 5000 times the duty. As the old woman, who keeps herself by collecting herbs, is unable to pay the fine, and would prob. ably not survive imprisonment, she has sent in a petition to the emperor ask ing for free pardon, which his maj esty. will doubtless grant.
 Another woman, over 70 years of age, who is also believed to be the victim of a miscarriage of justice, collapsed the other day on the steps of the ministry of justice in iVtnna. She and her hus- band had, as they considered, been un- justly condemned by judge at their native place, Radzuchowy, in Galicia, to fine for assaulting neighbor.
 They started a fortnight ago to walk the 300 miles to Vienna, but the man broke down two days march away. His wife left him behind and reached Vi enna alone. She asked the way to the of justice, but when she reach ed the ministry she was overcome by excitement and fatigue and swooned away,

he was not properly seated at the ban quet table.
 An amusing story is told of western senator who invited all of the diplo- mats and dignitaries to dine with him on the same evening.
 When he went to the state depart ment to ask advice about seating his guests, he was told that the puzzle could not be worked out without giving offense to some one, and the only course left for him to pursue was to fall i'll and recall his invitations.
 Washington society is on the qu- vive, for gentle rumor has foated forth that we are to have a "salon, y to be presided over by no less grande dame than urs. Longworth.
 It will not be surprise to those who have watched the spectacular social career of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, to learn that she intends to introduce in Washington, America s real social cent CT, salon copied after those with which Paris dazzled the world during the seventeenth and eighteenth cen turies.
 Mrs. Longworth has several of the requisites essential to the success of such unique social enterprise, such as wit, spirit, position and wealth.
 Just which class of the French salon Mrs. Longworth will reproduce (there are three distinct schools) is not known, hut it is probable that of Madame de Stael would be the most popular in our American capital, for thls famous French drawing room was the rendez- vous of poi.-cians and statesmen. De Custine described it as ''the mirror in which we see reflected the spirit of the times''
