Business is increasing in this town, as
it is in all other?. The market building,
which covers about a quarter of an acre,
is entirely too small to accommodate the
traders, and on Saturday this building is
not only jammed so full of jabbering na
tive women that you cannot elbow your
way through, but in front of it, and all
up and down the plaza" is the same,
while the country people are coming and
going by the hundreds. There ate three
classes of people that come into town to
do their trading. The poorest class
walk in, carrying their produce on !their
heads ; the next class ride in the buffalo
carts, and the third class, the wealthiest,
come in their carrimettas drawn by
horses. When I watch them, I cannot
help but be reminded of a Saturday , at
home when the country people come into

it is ihat some. Americans do
not smoke. The other day one of- the
boys down the street took some tobacco
and a paper and started to roll a cigar

to let her have them, so he, thinking she
wanted to smftke, gave them to her, and
he rolled another and was 1 ehting it
when she finished the first. She had been
roiling it for him but he didn't know it,
so when she went to offer it to him and
looked and saw for the first time that he
had another, she began to cry. and ran
away. Not long ago ".I was down town
in a store, and seeing some good clothes
b'ushes, thought I would buy one'. The
price was. "una peceta" (twenty 'cents,

I told the girl that I would wait and get
it tomorrow. .There .was a young man

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has received a number of inquiries from
registers of deeds, clerks of court, and
others asking whether they would be jus
tified in recording deeds, etc., which are
sent to them unstamped. They repre
sent that deeds are often received from
persons who cannot conveniently pro
cure stamps, asking that they be affixed
by the recorder. ' The commissioner an
swers in the negative, and in his reply
states that the grantee or person who
makes or issues the instrument should
affix and cancel the stamp. If he omits
to do so he incurs a penalty of not more
than $100. If, however, the omission is
inadvertant, he may present tie instru
ment to the collector within a year from
the date of issue, pay the stamp tax, and
present the instrument for post-stamping.
The commissioner advises that when an
unstamped instrument for record be re
ceived, it be returned fb --be.. stamped.
