"Why, they are working for me." Just then the postman came in with a large package of letters, and when I began opening them, and extracting money orders, drafts, checks and currency, he gazed steadily for a few moments and said: "Is that all money, Perry?" "Certainly; checks and drafts are as good as cash." "But where do you get it from?" "From Maine to California, and from Manitoba to Mexico."
In the beginning of the development of manufacture, these checks were limited to single branches and single markets; but the centralising tendency of competition which drives the hands thrown out of one branch into such other branches as are most easily accessible, and transfers the goods which cannot be disposed of in one market to other markets, has gradually brought the single minor crises nearer together and united them into one periodically recurring crisis.
Immature plumage of birds. Implacentata. Implements, employed by monkeys; fashioning of, peculiar to man. Impregnation, period of, influence of, upon sex. Improvement, progressive, man alone supposed to be capable of. Incisor teeth, knocked out or filed by some savages. Increase, rate of; necessity of checks in. Indecency, hatred of, a modern virtue.
There in that wood are century-old trees with hollow trunks, which die only when their high tops are struck and set on fire by the lightning and it is said that the fire always checks itself and dies out in the same spot. There are huge points of rock which time and nature are clothing with velvet garments of moss.
"I really don't see anything but some absurd sentimentalism of their own, or some mannish wickedness they're concocting by themselves. I am by no means certain, Josephine, that Lee's influence over that young man is the best thing for him." "On the contrary!

Snakes I've seen afore now, and rats I'm not unfamiliar with, but when it comes to the starn of a ship risin' up out of the street, I reckon it's time to pass in my checks." "It IS a ship, you blasted old soaker," said the Samaritan curtly. It was indeed a ship.
The curriculum includes letter-writing, book- keeping, exchange, bank-credits, checks and bills, the duty of the business man to his home, to the city, and to his fellow business men, his legal rights and duties, and, in great detail, all questions of citizenship. Methods of the banks, stock exchange, and insurance companies are explained.
To prevent undue evaporation, the surface also is covered with a thick, shiny skin a sort of vegetable macintosh, which effectually checks all unnecessary transpiration. Of this desert type, then, the cactus is the furthest possible term.
To hesitate or balance perplexes their understanding, checks their passion, and suspends their action. They are, therefore, impatient till they escape from a state, which to them is so uneasy: and they think, that they could never remove themselves far enough from it, by the violence of their affirmations and obstinacy of their belief.
We know not exactly what the checks are in even one single instance. Nor will this surprise any one who reflects how ignorant we are on this head, even in regard to mankind, so incomparably better known than any other animal.
