visitor called at her house and noticed, as soon
as she entered two new and rather expensive
pieces OF furniture-a folding bed and chest
Of drawers. Upon inquiry she learned that the
woman had bought these a short time before
and was paying for them by instruments. To
meet the last payment she had pawned new
suit belonging to her ffteen-year-old son. The
rent was three months overdue
When demonstrated with for this piece Of ex-
travagance the widow said that when she
bought the things she did not see any reason
why she could not pay for them, because her
son was receiving good wages. It was some
time before she could be made to see the fool
ishness of the purchase. and It is not probable
that the lesson will be of any use when differ

Some Porto Rlcan Problems.

London, Oct. 2O.-The San Juan cor
respondent of the Times says: The
remodelling of the currency and bank
ing systems is among the most serious
Porto Rican problems confronting the
United States. The attempt of the mil
itary authorities to establish exchange
on the basis of two Porto Rican dol
lars to one American has failed. An
arbitrary change from the existing
silver basis to the United States cur
rency would restrict production in
every branch of industry and create
much discomfort 1t is not unlikely
that there will be complications with
France if the United States refuses
to recognize Spain's concession to the
French railroad company in Porto
Rico
