BORROWING MONEY.

There is nothing wrong about
borrowing money. There is hardly
a man but has sometime borrowed
money. Vast estimates have been
built on a borrowed dollar. But
there are two kinds OF borrowed
money. Money borrowed for the
purpose Of starting or keeping legit-
innate enterprises and expenses, and
money borrowed to get that which
you can do without. The first is
right, the other is wrong. If you
have money enough of your own to
buy a coat, however plain, and then
you borrow money for a dandy's
outfit, you have taken the first rev.
olution of the wheel down grade.
borrow for the necessities that may
be well. Borrow for the luxuries j;
that tips your prospects over in the
wrong direction.

"TO LIVE WHILE YOU LIvE.v

Many q gem has beea been stolen
by vice from the casket of virtue
and the above expression is one OF
them. Though it justly belongs to
virtue it has tor ages shown bril-
liaRtly in the crown of vice. For
ages past ''to live while you live"
was to lead reckless life of drink
ing, gaming and all manner OF VIC
ious deeds. Is it go What is it
to live Is it to drink all night
and have a dizzy head all next day :?
ls it feverish skin and empty
pocket, desolate home and aching
hearts? To live fast and die soor,
tC shed many bitter tears of remorse
before we fall into an untimely grave
and have but few tears for us when
life is finished, is this life! If so,
the bottle and the gaming table are
the principal constituents OF hap
piness, and "to live while you live"
means to plunge headlong into all
shapes of vice until you reach the
precipice and tumble over into vast
eternity.
But to live means to get as much
OF LITE as you can, to crowd into it
as much work, as many grand
achievements and to get as much
honor and enjoyment as you can,
to have brains, blood and limbs in
the best working order, that you
may enjoy life as long as possible.
Then "to live while you live" means
be good, be wise, be earnest, be
sober, be pleasant, be cheerful and
thankful. Then you will live much
longer perhaps, and enjoy living
more here and still hive in a glori>
Gus immortality when passed away
from the present life aud leave
record loved and honored by your
friends.

POPULIST POLICY.

Populist members of Congress do not,
it is said, take kindly to the proposition
of National Committeeman Washburn, of
Massachusetts, that the peoples party
abandon the silver question ana fall back
upon the two issues of government issue
of paper money and government con-
troll Of railroads. Neither do they in
dorse the idea of Secretary Edgerton, Of
the Populist national committee, for Il
conference of the leaders of the party to
determine what shall be the course Of the
party. Mr.. Edgerton and Chairman
Butler agree in everything but this prop
osition, and it is not likely that confer
ence will be called. The Populist leaders
at Washington regard it as unnecessary,
and one of them said to representative
of the Star that it "would just he an OPP
pottunity for Populst traitors to create
further discord in the party ranks"
Senator Butler, Senator Allen and
Others are strongly opposed to the idea of
IL conference. They are just as strongly
opposed to any change from the issue of
the last campaign. They express conf
dcnce in eventually coming out vlctors on
that issue, and they look upon the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Washburn with suspicion.
Mr. Washburn became prominent during
the last campaign by being appointed by
Chairman Butler to the command OF the
Populist headquarters at Chicago. He
was not n full and enthusiastic supporter
of the policy and ideas of the North Car
olina man throughout the campaign,
leaning somewhat to Candidate Watson
In this way he and Chairman Butler did
not learn to love each other as earnestly
as was the case with the chairman and
other members of the national commit
tee.
Chairman Butler expresses the opinion
that the Populist party is committed to
free silver as the main issue until that
question is finally disposed Of Then he
thinks it will be time enough for the par
ty to take up other matters. If it were
left to him, it is believed the question of
government ownership of railways would
never he an issue of the party again. He
is said to he IA believer in doing away
with some of the "ismsn which have cast
reproach on the party in many quarters
and of adopting substantial questions as
issues on which to fight.

For weeks and weeks Tom Sheppard
had been Il sick man ut our mining
camp at Black Bear valley. Everybody
felt sorry for him, and yet Il sick man
III Il mining camp was IL great inconvcn-
fence and Il burden. One day Judge
Watkins went up to sec him. and said:
Tom, | don't want to seem cold

wonder why you don't die on get well. -
Yes, reckon they are, replied Tom,
land you kin tell 'eln I'm goin to die.
I've been waitin fur a week or two.''
"W0itin? Fur what:'
Fur to die dccently I'm no lord or
duke, but | want things fixed M iii good
shape. | want to be washed up, shaved,
hey my har cut and git into some de-
cent duds, and / won't die till do. -
The judge told the boys what was re-
quircd, and that afternoon two or three
of 'em knocked off work and fixed Tom
up. A shirt was borrowed of one, Il coat
OF another Il vest of another. and by
and by the sick man was rugged ont III

this had been done, he said:
Now, then, l feel more like dyin,
but there's one more thing / want. I
want Joe Billings TO como up with his

But Joe's mighty busy today" pro-
tested one of the men.

don't die. I'm goin out of this camp
IN decent shape or hang right on fur the
next three MONTHS
Joe was sent for, and after consider
able kicking he got his fiddle and went
up to Toms shanty. Tom was propped
up i'll bed and waiting, and Joe sat
down and gave him The Old Oaken
Bucket, "Old Folks ut Home " Mel
lie Gray" and half Il dozen other we'll
known airs He had been playing for
an hour, his eyes on the hills opposite,
when Judge Watkins looked in and said:
Cut it off, Joe; Toms dead
And so he was. and when the boys
came i'll and observed the pleased and
contented look on his face they were
agreed that he had died decently and
been given fair start on his way
