"There was no need for the last article," said Carnehan, blushing modestly; "but it looks regular. Now you know the sort of men that loafers are we are loafers, Dan, until we get out of India and do you think that we would sign a Contrack like that unless we was in earnest? We have kept away from the two things that make life worth having."
The partners looked at each other. "Gosh darn my buttoms!" said Hootchinoo Bill. "Seems likes you and me, Kink, is the kind of folks always caught out with forks when it rains soup." "Wouldn't it take the saleratus out your dough, now?" said Kink Mitchell. "A stampede of tin-horns, drunks, an' loafers." "An' squaw-men," added Bill. "Not a genooine miner in the whole caboodle."
The lasagnone is a loafer, as an Italian can be a loafer, without the admixture of ruffianism, which blemishes most loafers of northern race. He may be quite worthless, and even impertinent, but he cannot be a rowdy, that pleasing blossom on the nose of our fast, high-fed, thick-blooded civilization.
Of course I know that many of the beggars and match- sellers, and people of that kind are rank loafers, too idle to work even when they have the chance people who spend in drink every penny that's given them and in my opinion they richly deserve all the misery they suffer.
We regret our inability to record the name of one who thus commands our esteem and affection. In this humble home, David Crockett and his family resided two years.

"Say!" yelled Barney, "any o' you fellers know any-thing about Jim Sanford?" "No. Why? Got any money there?" "Yes; and I'm goin' to git it out, if I haf to smash the door in." "That's the talk!" shouted some of the loafers. They sprang up and surrounded Barney.
I see a change for the worse even in our own town here; full of loafers now, small and poor as 'tis, who once would have followed the sea, every lazy soul of 'em. There is no occupation so fit for just that class o' men who never get beyond the fo'cas'le.
It was in his blood, he said; he had been hankering for something of the kind ever since the days of his boyhood, down there in Alsace, when he had been told all those tales of 1814. "Ah! you dirty loafers! you dirty loafers!" And he kept firing away with such eagerness that, finally, the barrel of his musket became so hot it burned his fingers.
Then came the rush from the outside. It was almost magical the change that occurred in one day. The place became suddenly alive with strangers from Leeson Butte and Bay Creek, and even farther afield. Legitimate traders came to spy out the land. Loafers came in and sat about waiting for developments. Gamblers, suave, easy, ingratiating, foregathered and started the ball of high stakes rolling.
Ball's brother-in-law. The excitement spread over the whole village. Doctor Lanham talked about it, and the ministers, and the lawyers, and the loafers in the stores, and the people who came to the post-office for their letters. Of course, it broke out furiously in the "Maternal Association," a meeting of mothers held at the house of one of the ministers. "Mr.
