 As I kissed Miss Evvy's two flushed cheeks and gave her little squeeze, I was quite sure that she did not know 1 what my new familiarity with name had made me discover in that mornings Tribune-that her brother was owner of three fifths of the Jeunnesse Dotee mine, just now yielding $60,OOO month clear profit, and the man most talked for gov ernor of his state.
 "rhis element of chance has strange way of coming in and settling up in a few minutes what years of organized effort has failed in,'' he continued, when Miss Evvy had returned from putting away my hat and gloves, and we were all seated ill the little porch.
 "Whatever it Is, it often shrinks the world to less than half it size, ,' I agreed. ''But is it really chance? Was it that in the case of the stranger who dropped the paper in the car? My own idea nebulous often, clearer sometmes-is that if 8 thousandth part of those re- responsibilities which are now mercifully hidden from us under the name of chance were revealed, life would be too l burdensome to be borne"
 Miss Evvy looked little puzzled. Ut was Providence" she said, reverently, letting her hand slip down upon her brothers shoulder as he sat below her on the step.
 And her brother laid his own hand upon hers.

A store Electrified.

The Astorian tells the following re-
markable incident, perhaps exaggerated
but certainly never heard Of before:
Who ever heard OF grocery store be-
ing magnetixed2 Yet such q case hap.
pened in Astoria yesterday. When Joe
kippo put his key in the lock of Foard 4
Stokes store yesterday morning to open
up he received q severe shock that al
most knocked him down. The store be-
ing opened, the other boys soon followed
and customers began to arrive as usual.
One wanted pickles and Joe dived into
the brine to fill the order, when he re-
ceived another shock. BY this time he
began to suspect that something was
wrong. just then Carl. the boy. began
to build the fire in the stove, and he,
too, was shocked, being thrown down by
the force of the unseen power. Fred
johnson reached upon the shelf TO get
down some canned tomatoes, for another
customer, and was Immediately doubled
up like letter U. This was something
of a surprise 10 Fred--so early in the
morning. "Jim" 0'Oonnell took a pur>
chasers cash and attempted to put il in
the trolley car leading TO the cashiers $
desk. but was thrown back into the SUI
gar bin with such force as to make his
teeth chatter. Big .'Hank" ingalls, and
the boss arrived on the scene about this
time and it was decided to investigate
these strange performances of the erst-
while staid storerocm and the electrician
OF the street car line was: called in who
soon discovered that the electrical sup
ply wire which runs the big coffee clill
had got loose iron its moorings and had
charged the entire store. The trouble
waS soon remedied.
