.Henri Poiucnre. tbe famous. French
physicist and mathematician, was re
markably absentmlnded. One evening
be was looking In a closed bookcase
for a iniinuscriit. During the scaicb
he set the lamp on a shelf In ithotcnse
and In a moment of abstraction olospd
the door of tbe cabinet and sat jiown
lu darkness. After be bad pondered
for a time on tbe disappearance of tbe
light he came to tbe conclusion that he
hud Riiddeuly become blind.' Tbut
seemed to him quite possible since bin
eyes were weak nnywuy, and be groan
e'd at tbe thought of bis deplorable
condition, Suddenly to bis surprise a
stream of light appeared, coming from
the adjoining room, and be remarked,
with much satisfaction. "My .sight
seems to have come back again." . Not
even tben did he think of tbe lamp In
tbe bookcase! . . .

That one so Bkiiirul and so keen 4

Pendleton, May 28. (Special)
News that S. W. Green, lodge or
ganizer who spent several weeks hero
earlier in the year and is well known
ii all Kastern Oregon towns, has
been accused by seventeen-year-old
Marian Hoffman, whom he met in this
city, of contributing to her delinquen
cy and of using her as an instrument
of blackmail, has caused no surprise
to many of the local people who were
acquainted with him. It seemed to
be a matter of more or less general
knowledge among those with whom
he came in contact that his conduct
was not above suspicion. Though he
is past 68 and old enough to be the'
grandfather of his alleged victim, a
number of local people declare that
she is not the first young woman
with whom he has been associated in
a clandestine way.
On one occasion he came to Pendle
ton with his wife and on two others
with young women whom he intro-
CJ-fl l)fflPQLEOJ
duced as his niece, . stenographer or
a newspaper representative. So sus
picious were the officers of him' that
ii is said that they watched him
closely and even raided his rooms for
evidence.
After he had met the Hoffman
girl and taken her to his hotel to
live with his "niece", he was viewed
with still more suspicion but his as
sertion that he had assumed the
rights of guardian over her in order
to prosecute her violatiors disarmed
some of the suspicion. He took her
before a local attorney and she made'
sworn affidavits involving a number
of prominent young Portland men in
her delinquency. The matter was
turned over to a' Portland attorney!
but was dropped when both became
convinced that Green's purpose wa3
blackmail. si. fi-.'k' ... . .'
The Hoffman girl formerly lived in
Roseburg where her' father was city
marshal and local people who for
merly lived in the Southern Oregon
city say she bore a good reputation
while there. Her delinquncy seenu
to have dated,, from her residence in
Portand arid conflicting stories of
her character are told. Her story in

"No, Wbat about it?" excitedly re

Distinction.
Her doR has a diamond set collar;
Her cot drinks the richest of cream.
Of course she spends many a dollar
On hats that are simply a dream.
Bhe always buys fruit out of season
And game of the costliest kind. ..
Their very expense Is tho reason - '
That these things appeal to her mind
Things any one else might be buying
Sho looks on with heartiest scorn,
And that's why Just now sho Is trying
