when he was left practically penniless.
While wealthy he did a big business
through banks, and as he always kept
the checks after they had come back
through the clearing house he had
nearly a trunk full at the time he
failed.
These checks he has always treas
ured as souvenirs Of his prosperous
days, and when he came here in 1898
and bought small house between
River Denys and Port Hood he pa
pered the wallis of one of his rooms
with them: They are drawn on at
least 20 banks, and De Costa declares
that he can tell what each paid for.
This is all the more remarkable, as
the man settled his personal as well
as his business obligations with paper.
He never carried more than dollar
in cash in his pockets at one time,
and If a man didn't want to cash a
check he made no sale.
De Costa says that he would rather
| look at the checks than eat his dinner,
and this is literally true, for all his
| meals are served in the check room.

The <centers of population and activ-

steadily: advanced westward, until,
without exception, they are now To-
Gated in the mississippi valley. One
half Of the population of the United
States resides in what may be cor
rectly termed the. Mississippi valley.
This population has more than dou-
bled itself every rs years of the past
century. Should this rate of increase
be maintained the year 5000 would
find the population, no less than $780,
100000. The area of the Mississippi
valley, 1,240,000 square miles, all: told.
is two-ffths of the whole continental
area of the United States. and more
than two-thirds of it's arabic surface.
The population has shown a steady in
crease. In 1910 the valley; dwellers
numbered but 100000. In 1850 the
number had: Increased to 100000.
Nor has the supremacy of the Miss
issippi valley been confined alone to
it's increase of people. The centers
of corn, cotton, oats and wheat pro-
duction, of the number, area and
value of farms, are all within it's con
fines.

New York.-Lyine early in the
morning in that,Ib delicious languor
'twixt sleep and waking, comely. Mrs.
Eugene r. Wisby, of NO 1746 Bath
avenue, Bath Beach, felt her lips
brushed slightly once, twice and ex.
perienced a strang tickling sensation
on the tip of her Grecian nose and in
the twin dimples at the corners of
her mouth. In spirit of; indolent
speculation she wondered what, kind
OF nightprowling moth :, had chanced
her way, and blamed herself for hav,
Ing, left a fly-screen half up at one OF
the. windows. Horror seized her
when her fancy painted the possibil.
1ty that the creature was bat. But
not couldn't be-. The sensation had
been too daintily elusive for anything
OF that sort Suddenly it dawned on
Mrs. Wisby- that she had been-yes,
positively, kissed! -.
She suppressed a little scream and
turning in bed, shook her young
daughter with a little less of maternal
gentleness than usual. Miss Wisby
+ sleepily asked what was wrong, and
Mrs. Wisby in turn inquired if the girl
had kissed her. A drowsy "No, DEAR
was the answer. Then Mrs. Wisby
with more courage than any spinste1
could have shown, turned herself into
a right-angled triangle and looked
under her couch. Nobody there
Then her gaze swept the room, but il
was apparent even to her excited
vision that the apartment was un
tenanted save by herself and he1
| daughter. But she knew she had
been kissed-deliberately kissed-and
the kisser had got away without be
traying his identity.
Mrs. Wisby started up in bed and
tnstinctly her hand, brushing the foo1
as she half arose, closed on an absurd
little slipper with 'tight-waisted
French heel-as If such a fairly trifle
as that could hurt anybody. Evident
ly the kisser was returning-perhaps
to steal more honey from her lips
Well, if he took her chamber for {
beehive she'd see that he was stung
It was with magnificent determination
that she held the slipper heel outward
and gripped the toe convulsively.
Amazement! The kisser was re
turning, but not to kiss again. HI

Need of Slumber.

How much sleep do men need
Jeremy Taylor was content with three
hours, Baxter with four, Wesley with
six. Bismarck and Gladstone needed
eight, ,but Goethe, Napoleon, Mirabeau
and Humboldt professed that they
could get along very well with less.
Linnaeus, the naturalist, was one of
those who robbed themselves of sleep
during their early years and made up
for it later in life. In his wakeful pc
riods during his old age he would re.
tire to his library, take down one OF
his own works, and read it with a
sigh of regret. "How very fine" he
would murmur; ''what would I not
have given to be able to write book
like this!"

edts >dSo UeAOio CHe great iron
trails were stretched across the tciooun-
try and the swift, fiery steads were
passing over them drawing their loads
of human freight and merchandise,
the rivers Of the land, especially the
Mississippi and the Ohio, were the
busy highways of commerce. But as
the railway systems developed the
river business declined, steamers that
had plowed their way back and forth
between the thriving river towns
ceased to run, and wharves fell into
decay-for the railroad was too strong
a rival, and soon monopolized the
commerce of the country.
But of late years there has been a
! revival in the direction of the water
highways, and a determined effort
towards utilizing the splendid facili-
ties of trade which they afford. New
York has by direct vote of the people
appropriated $101,00Q,00O to build a
ship canal from Lake Erie to the Hud-
son, SO that a cargo loaded in Chicago
or Duluth may sail direct to Ham
burg, Havre, or Liverpool. The city
of. Manchester, England, has spent
$10O,000,000 to get an outlet to the sea.
Germany, France and England are ex-
pending even larger sums in the con-
struction of absolutely new cross
country waterways. The Sault Ste.
Marie canal has already paid for it.

that rushes through its locks. And
all this shows the tendency towards
water communication.

provement of those waterways so as
to admit of the use of the larger
steamers. The slogan Of the Ohio
River Improvement association is
Dam the Ohio river from .Pittsburg
to Cairo" and there is a similar
slogan being declared by the. Missis-
sippi River Improvement association,
which says, Dam the, Mississippi
river from St. Paul to New Orleans" ;"
And at a meeting Of. these two asso-
Citations at St. Louis during November
the matter is to be energetically ex-
plotted
The fact. that one Mississippi river
tug can convey in six. days from St..
Louis to New Orleans boats carrying
10000 tons of grain, which would re-
quire 20 railroad trains of Is cars
each, shows the possibilities of the
project. -.~.
The gathering of rivermen in st.
Louis in November will be the great
est coming together of people inter
ested in Americas interior waterways
in the his1bry of the country. At its
very outset, the Ohio River Improve.
ment association set itself resolutely
to the task of, educating congress and
the people of the river states to 1.-THE
vast commercial Importance Of deep
ening the channel from Pittsburg to
Cairo. Its leaders took the declara
ton of Andrew Carnegie, that 'the re-
public now has more than 10000, miles
of connected river and lake naYiga
tion, which supplies the cheapest in
land transportation for materials in
the world" and they added: sThe
