A local loafer-the imp of idle

slows a cuff or a kick upon his faith
full wife instead of a kiss. He saun-
tiers up town to ornament street
corners with his presence and whit
tie store boxes, upon which he sits
spinning yarns and squirting tobac-
co juice upon the sidewalks and at
flies that swarm around him like
gnats after filthy cur. With a
mouth as full of nastiness as a sew
er, he damns the town and all the
decent people in it. He is the iu-

leech that preys upon industry, a
pestiferous lounger and an all round
nuisance, endured only because it
can't be abated. He enjoys the
distinction of being the king bee of
idleness and the drone of society.

VICTORY At LAST.
The Vets Ride the Colgate
Colts a Bug Hunling.
THE RIOTERS 60 WILD.
The Shreveport SO to 81 High
Rollers Left Their Money
Here.

The game of base ball played be-
tween the Shreveport nine and that
of this city on yesterday was a de.
ceiving oue-deceiving more to the
Sports" perhaps than anything
they have ran upon in long time,
and the Shreveportians were not
only ones deceived in the game, for
many Of our sports dropped their
dollars betting against the "Vets. "
The game at one time stood 10 to
| in favor of Shreveport, and as
the club had beaten the Texarkana
boys two games before, the betting
fraternity thought they had a dead
thing in betting their money on the
Colgate Colts, and in order to get a
bet, they offered any kind of odds
as high as $15 to 81, and there was
some one around ready to take such
bets.
The Texarkana boys caught the
Sport boys off their guard and they
filled the bases full of men and then
the fun began. The ball was raped
repeatedly and the runners came
in home by twos and threes and it
looked as if it would never stop.
They caught up with Shreveport on
runs, and then the spectators went
wild, especially the small boys, who
tossed their hats in the air and
yelled like Commanche Indians. The
excitement ran so high that the
diamond was fringed with the
eager crowd to watch every play.
When Shreveport retired on its
9th inning without making a run,
the game stood IA to ID, and Tex
arkana went to the bat and soon
had two men on bases and no one
out. A good rap of the ball at this
juncture was all that was needed,
and it soon came and one of the
base runners was brought over the
plate and the game was won.
