BEST WAY TO lick A
STAMP IS NOT TO LICK III

There are many ways to put stamp
on an envelop. But there is only one
right way.
That way is this: Grasp the envel-
ope firmly i'm the right hand, prefer
ably holding IL (the envelope and not
the hand) by the lower left hand cor
ner Then, with quick motion, life
the upper right hand corner of the en-
velope To the lips. open the mouth as
wide as the size of the envelope may
neccssitate, and wet that upper right
hand corner. This can be done very
deity, especially after practice.
Then quickly seize the postage stamp
in the right hand. and slap it down ON
the wet spot on the envelope Pat IL
gently with the right hand or the hand
kerchief Then drop the letter in the
slot and Uncle sam will do the rest.
That is method of putting on a
stamp that might be universally prac-
ticed. 1t is doubly valuable. In the
first place all the gum that was on the
stamp originally stays there and helps
hold it i'm place, This prevents it fall
in goff. stops a postage due" at the
other end of the line, and keeps your
i'm good humor. When
the method OF licking the stamp" is
used some of the gum gets on the
tongue instead of the place where the
government intended il to be.
Then there is the matter of health.
It is your own envelope, and if you see
TO it that no germs are loafing around
ON that upper right hand corner, ii
ISN'T at all necessary to eat few I'm
order to write letter and get it mail
ed. And that this germ proposition
sn't all joke is proven by the post
office department itself.
That department has issued an order
10 the effect that all stamps when sold
m the New York office must be deliv-
cred to customers gum-side up-"gum-
side up" referring. of course. to the
stamps. This is to be done to prevent
he stamps from grabbing few germs
rom the counter, making away with
hem against the laws i'm such case
made and provided, transferring them
10 tongues of mortals, and thereby
physicians, undertakers,
md tombstone carvers.
No such order, however, has been
received at the Calumet postoffice.

HOLMAN is SUSPENDED.
Former Calumet Man Loses Seat on
Duluth Stock EXCHANGE

Sbibhu GNCndH9Cs
The suspension of W. j. Holman of
the brokerage firm of Holman Bros,
81 Co, with offices at sos Palladio
building was announced on the floor
of the Duluth stock exchange this
morning, says the Duluth Herald.
Complaint was made by several
members that contracts with Holman
Bros. & 90. had not been fulfilled and
the suspension followed.
According to the rules of the ex-
change Il schedule of liabilities is re-
quircd within ten days after sus-
pension and it is expected that such a
schedule will be filed. The unfulhlled
contracts are Of recent date.
w. ]. Holman said to the Herald
that the firms difficulties will be adj
justed satisfactorily within a few days,
and that the settlement would act au-
tomatically as Il reinstatement of the
suspended member OF the company.
"All trades VIII be taken care Of"
said Mr.. Holman. "Our firm is not GO
ing out of business. Our liabilities
will be taken care Of but we need a few
days in which TO straighten our tangle.
A satisfactory settlement of our
trades will act as reinstatement of
our suspended member on the Duluth
stock exchange. We intend to con-
tinuc i'm business with the same energy
as i'm the past and we will adjust our
affairs as soon as possible"
w. j. Holman is now under indict-
ment on charge of grand larceny in
the second degree as the result of a
dispute i'm "A transaction i'm two stocks
traded in on the local board. Mr.. Hol-
man expresses confidence in his ulti-
mate eXoneration.
Damages OF slightly more than $1,000
in civil suit brought by a woman
were recently returned against him by
a jury i'm the district court as the re-
suit of a deal i'm stocks.
