There is the military loafer, who remains in
camp till there is some prospect of active SER
vice, and then suddenly falls ill or discovers
that ne Is too young or too old, or otherwise
unft for military duty. There is the loafer of
the rural districts, who likes to drive team
and trade cattle and go to mill, and is sure TO
be present at all the town meetings and auc
ton sales, bidding for goods which he cannot
ouy and voting heavy taxes on property which
ne never owns. Then there are loafers
IN the dry goods line, on each side of counter
with no positive wish either to buy or sell. but
with only languid desire to kill time and be
lmpertinent TO each other, desire that usu

loafers that haunt libraries and newspaper Off.
