eAv1N,s CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
He Is Preparing Fitting Speech Of
Reply.

Reply.
Travelling Freight Agent Gavin of the
Colorado Midland is in training Not
for a prize fight by any means. On the
contrary But Mr.. Gavin is preparing
an address, which will be delivered on
Christmas day to a select audience
composed of the inmates of the state
prison. Gavin is a sort of dramatist,
actor, elocutionist and recitationiSt. He
handles the queens English lovingly,
ably, forcibly, pathetically and humor-
ously, as circumstances dictate. He is
an entertaining gentleman at parlor
entertainment, or at a larger function.
Having a vast fund of good things at
his command, Gavin has in times past
visited the state prison and recited to
the convicts. He has made some days
which might have been dreary for
them, bright. The conYicts appreciate
Gavin and for a year have been at
work on a present for him, consisting
Of a cane, made of small bits of leather
and bone, which is now nearly complet-
ed and will be, when finished, one of
the most wonderful bits of handWork
ever turned out. It was intended that
Gavin should be surprised by the gift,
but one trusty, deeming it would not be
right to spring the present on him
without having given him time to pre-
pare, and being especially DESTROYS of
seeing what he would do when he had
ample time to get ready, leaked on the
story, so that Gavin knows all about it
and has been burning midnight oil as
a result for some days. or rather nights.
He does not know exactly how to com
mence. To say fellow citizens would
be wrong, as a convict is not a citizen.
To address them as fellow convicts''
would imply that he was one of them.
My friends might bring him into dis
repute. Gentlemen" would be a mis-
homer. That is the only thing which
is turning Gavin's hair white, and is the
cause of a great deal of quiet joshing
among his associates, who allege they
will attend the session in a body and
hear the response, if they miss their
dinner

THE STAMP ON DEEDS


Causing Considerable CONFUSION Just Notr-
Pertinent Questions
There is some Misunderstanding OF
the law governing stamps on deeds and
like instruments. Yesterday many
deeds were filed for record without
stamps, and one dated May 90, but
iiled yesterday had 30 one cent stamps
attached.
The law on the subject says
Sc. l3 That any person or persons
who shall register issue, sell or trans
fer, or who shall cause to be issued
registered, sold, or transferred, any
instrument, document, or paper OF any
kind or description whatsoever men.
toned In schedule A OF this act with
out the same being duly stamped, or
having thereupon an adhesive stamp
for denoting the tax chargeable there
on, and cancelled in the manner re-
quired by law, with intent TO evade
the provisions Of this act, shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, end
upon conviction thereof. shall be pun
ished by fine not exceeding fif,y dol
lars, or by imprisonment not exceed
ing six months, or both, in the dIscre-
tion Of the court, and such instrument,
document, or paper not being stamped
according TO law shall be deemed in
valid and OF no effect.
Sec IS. chat it shall not be lawful
to record or reg ster any instrument,
paper or document required by law tc
be stamped unless a stamp or stamps
OF the proper amount shall have been
affixed and cancelled in the manner
prescribed by law; and the record
registry, or transfer Of any such ia
struments upon which the proper
stamp or stamps aforesaid shall not
have been anlxed and cancelled a.
aforesaid shall not be used in evi
dence.
From the above IL would appear thai
oven though deeds be dated previous
TO July L, lsss, the recorder cannot
legally record them until the stamps
have been attached. The question il
liable TO come up for settlement in tn,
courts, as many persons believe thaI
the law does not contemplate tas
upon transfers made previous to July /
The abstraetors are making notes
and are reporting as defective all deedi
in amount exceeding 500 which hav,
no stamps attached.
