THE VILLAGE loAFER.

Ile Is the village loafer, and chap
whose life Is worn to shreds by fate's
nishap.
Folks said it was the making of his
own
The grim career he's leading now
today;
lie carved his lowly channel, and
alone
Must pay the price the fool is bound
TO pay
Where fellows bibulous were gathered
round,
Twas there the village loafer could be
found.
He'd loll all day about the shady
green,
He'd pump pail of water. for your
nag
And with the dime fast clutch he
would careen
Where Perkins helped promote the
fellows jag
Where does he dwell? No stranger ever
cared,
No stranger asked if i'll or well he Jared.
He's but an atom or a ship a-toss
Upon troubled sea of circum-
stance;
He's but battered hulk; twill be no
loss
When he slips out beyond the break
ers' dance.

tree,
A wreck, alas of life's humanity.
He's lost to all that's noble in man
Nay, not to all a team comes tear
ing wild,
Affrights the hearts of all the white
faced clan
Aud in the buggy is helpless chiid |!
One leap, he strides the MADDEN q
horses breast;
He grips the bit-and now begins the
test.
Strong drink has robbed his muscles
OF their grace,
His hand is weak, an! he can never
stay.
But there's a look upon the loafer's
face,
That says he'll pay the price OF all
today.
He droops-the cruel hoofs they pound
him sore;
Then with mighty effort he once more
Drags at the bit, until he wins at last'
And conquers with his faint e&-
piring will.
He falls. The village loafer slowly
passed, -,
And slipped away from life ana all
it's ill.

new AGENT
At lAPWAI
Will Take Formal Charge of the
Nez Perce Indian Agency
Tomorrow

Mr.. e. L. Chalcraft was in the city
today on business. Mr.. Chalcraft has
been temporarily in charge Of the Nes

duties take him to every agency in the

portunities of studying the different
tribes of American Indians and states
that in all his experience he thought
that the Nez Perez Indian was a little
above the average. He stated that the
lines are very strictly drawn in the Neg
Perez tribe In that the higher educated
or civilized Indians hold themselves
aloof from the long haired Indians VINO
have not attained the high degree of
civilization. Mr.. Chalcraft believes
that as general rule I'm the transfor-
nation or change of life of the Indian
from a semi-civilized state to a civil
lied state, that the breaking away from
the customs and tribal habits is fatal to
most of them and materially decreases
the population. He believes, however.
that there is no decrease in the Indians
of this country in fact there is a slight
increase
Mr.. Chalcraft stated this morning
that he found conditions and affairs
