OUR BOYS HUSTLING.

Quite a number of bright boys are
now handling The COiored American
in many of the principal cities Of the
country. Many Of them are doing
remarkably we'll and are making from
81 to 81 a week. Parents who wish
their boys to acquire some knowledge
of business can do no better service
than to have them sell The Colored
American each week. 1t is a good
seller and 1t Will take boy but a short
while to work up good route. If the
boy goes to school he can take the al
ter hours TO canvass on his route and
can deliver the paper on Saturday
morning. We want few more bright
boys Bring or send in your order at
once.

For some time past pees have been

Or so bee would crawl out OF the
opening made for one Of the sliding
doors between the sitting room and
he parlor. nazily poising itself, the
bee would fly about the room until its
career was cut short by slap from the
palm of Mr.. Clements or somebody else
In the house But another bee would
come forth to take the place Of the
slaughtered one. o
It finally dawned upon Mr.. Clements
that he was keeping bees in his house.
The discovery made no particular Inn

when one of them str~- him.

ipon the trail of the bees, another
member of the family came into con-
act with one OF the small disturbers
nd, after !. hrief struggle, although
the bee was destroyed, a couple OF
pieces Of furniture were sacrificed and
the happiness of the family was dis

SAD ENDING OF
A BUSY LIFE
Senator COulsOn, Of GEant

Enid, okla, April 16.-Word CONES
from Eddy that Geo. II. Coulson, a
prominent farmer living in that vicin-
ity, committed suicide Sunday, by
hanging. The body was found hang
ing from tree in the orchard about 8
O'Clock the same evening, though II is
not known exactly how long It had
hung there A rope was drawn tight
around his neck, snd the aged mars
nCea was broken in two places
CeMson was SO years OF age. He
lived IN Grant county, Just over the
Kay county line. An inquest was held
resulting in the finding Of a verdict Of
suicide. The evidence developed the
fact that he had left home early that
morning, leaving his folks to unuer-
stand that he was going to Eddy. He
did not return, and late in the even
ing his son went to town to see after
him, knowing that he was fe6eble and
subject to occasional spells that would
disable him for time. He learned
that his father had not been there, and
on returning home, CHANGED to go
through the orchard, where he found
the llfeless form of his father, as 1t
hung from the tree The young man
was almost overcome by the shock,
but he succeeded in notifying his sis
ter and the neighbors. The officers
we're notified and soon the inysstiga-
tton was held.
Coulson was a widower, but lived
with his grown son and daughter, who
were caring for him in his advanced
age. It is said that he repeatedly ex-
pressed the fear that he was in the
way. and It is believed that his der
pondency which has afflicted him ever
since his wife's death was responsible
for his rash act
The dead man was prominent in pol
itical circles having been elected to
the Sixth legislative assembly, where
he made good record in the council
as conservative and honest law
maker. He was also elected TO the
Fourth council. but was unseatee by
contest being decided against him
in favor of j. P. Candy, his Republi
can opponent.
