Benjamin, the 15-year-old son
of Benjamin Evans of Bedford,
went up stairs last Sunday morn
ing for some article of clothing.
To get it, he found it necessary
to remove a loaded shotgun lying
on a store box. Taking hold of
the gun near the muzzle and
drawing it toward him, the ham
mer was caught on the edge of
the box and the gun was dis
charged. The load entered un
der the boy's chin, and literally
blew his face off, causing death
almost instantly. The family
came to Bedford from Virginia
last spring, and the father is a
miner working at Broad top.
An exchange prints the follow
ing which is applicable in every
commnnity. "Don't ship a big
box of clothing and provisions
1000 miles away, when there is a
little boy freezing just around the
corner. It is right to send help
away, but take care of the desti
tute at your own doors before go
ing further away. Don'thesitato
about giving a Presbyterian coat
or a Methodist pair pants to a
Catholic. Give theclothingto the
needy, regardless of the faith of
his parents or relatives, and you
will have done an act that is com
mendable in the eyes of the Al
mighty. Shop For Kent.
