Col A S. Johnson's Grandson Makes
a Social Sensation in Los Angeles.

a Social Sensation in Los Angeles.
The following appears under display
headlines in the Los Angeles Record
which reached Topeka today:
He may be a Croesus, he may own
a railroad, he may be able to take up
an issue of national bonds, but as long
as he smokes those nasty cigarettes. he
shall never have my consent to marry
Mama
Such was the uItimatum that Mrs
Cutler is said to have issued when Geo.
A. Davis, the young Chicago million
aire, asked for her daughters hand.
Young Davis fell in love with pretty
Mamma Cutler about a year ago. 1t
was case of love at first sight. One
evening in October, young Davis drop
ped into DR.. Cutters drug store, on the
corner of Fourth and Hill streets. Pret-
~ Miss Mama was there. The young
millionaire came, saw, and conquered.
His love was returned.
But the course of loves young dream,
as usual, was not smooth. Mrs. Cutler
so the doctor says, objected to the young
man because he smoked cigarettes. Mrs
Cutters mind scars above all consider
atoms of filthy lucre. She has no con-
hdence in the up-tO-date young men
who are never without cigarette be-
tween their lips. She was absolutely
determined that her daughter should
not marry young Davis.
The couple were compelled to part
Davis went to Paris, and Miss Mama
soul toward the French capital The
young millionaire saw the sights of
Paris until he was tired. He prOmenad-
ed up the Boulevard deS Italieng until
he was fOOtsore; he reVeIed in the de-
lights of the Bots de BOulogne, and he
visited the theaters that are scattered
along the Boulevard des Capucines
Wearied with the gaieties of the French
capital, the young millionaire turned his
eyes longingly toward the more prosaic
pleasures of the city of Chicago.

fourths the distance to Los Angeles, and
was not Mama Cutler waiting for him
On the sunny southern city? The temp
tattOn was too great. Young Davis re
turned to Chicago, and soon after took
the train for Los Angeles.
A few days ago he stepped from the
train at La Grande station. The meeting
OF the lovers may be passed over in 81
lence. A years absence had simply in
creased the ardor of their affection
Young Davis was determined to wed.
mOther-in-law or no mother-in-law,a and
Miss Mama was not unwilling.
The minds of the young couple were
soon made up. They would wed in secret
and ask for mammals forgiveness in the
sweet by-and-by
At 4:SO o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Davis and his fiance walked slowly
to the court house and asked for Cupid
Sam Kutz, who is held in awe by all
young loving couples. Mr.. Kutz unfOr-
tunately was absent. But his deputy.
George Francis, served in his stead. 1t
took only few minutes to issue a
license for the marriage Of George Dav-
is. age p, and Mama Cutler, age 10.
Without wasting a minute, the couple
went to the top floor of the court house
and were united in the bonds of holy
matrimony by the paternal Justice
Young, who, in addition to receiving his
fee, gave the young people his blessing.
And so at last the course of loves
young dream began to move smoothly.
The only thing to be done now was to
20 to Mrs Cutler, to confess all and OBJ
tain forgiveness In the drug store they
met Mrs. Cutler, who bowed to the in
evitable. Dr. Cutler was delighted to
have a millionaire for his son-in-law
and gave his blessing. Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis then went to their apartments at
the Hotel Catalina
Mrs. Davis, who is a gifted elocution-
ist, is well known in the society and
dramatic circles of Los Angeles. At
all times she has been willing to give
her services in the aid of charity. Her
friends are legion. DR.. Cutler was a
