Justice Scores Attorney
Yesterday morning in Justice Pierce's
court Attorney Roger S. Page, who
represents one Of the parties to a civil
action, undertook to file affidavits for
change of venue. The court de-
clared that the affidavits contained
statements which were both false and
ridiculous, and he told the attorney in
no uncertain words that his documents
were contemptuous. Justice Pierce re-
fused to file the affidavits in support of
the motion for a new trial.

WILL ASK COUNCIL TO
ABATE SMOKE NUISANCE

An ordinance which will be presented
to the council Monday gives promise
that the smoke nuisance which has be-
come so Objectionable in Los Angeles
will be abated and possibly entirely re-
moved.
At yesterdays meeting of the legis-
lative committee the ordinance was
drawn. 1t provides that it shall be
unlawful in the city of Los Angeles
to allow dense smoke to emit from any
permanent stack or chimney for more
than ten minutes, and that all persons
or firms found guilty of violation may
be punished by a fine not exceeding
$50 or by Imprisonment in the city
Jail not more than twenty-five days, or
by both such fine and Imprisonment.
The demand on the part of the people
had become so strong that action on
the smoke nuisance was imperative.
DR.. Powers of the health department
has been endeavoring to have such an
ordinance passed for some time, and
said yesterday: 1--WE need such an
ordinance, as it would be great help
to my department, and 1 hope the
council will pass it. At the present
time some of the stacks in the city
emit great volumes of dense black
smoke and SCOT. This smoke Is car
ried by different currents of air down
into the street and sometimes the side
walks beside some of the large build
ings are covered with SCOT. The smoke
aside from being dangerous to health
makes everything dirty and black"

been in Cambridge at the time, and he had
never known Jack well. But now he had
the running of things, he must look Jack
up and do something for him. A man had
a right to marry the woman he loved-but
he ought to consider the family. Yes, a
man must consider the family. Oh, Lord,
what was he going into all that for?
You are going west, after big game,
when you leave here?' Mrs. Winston was
asking.
Yes, I leave tomorrow"

prsed.

TOO bad, old man. You've not done New

hunting may be better than being hunted.
On the whole, perhaps you've chosen the
better part. The Indians don't go in for
scalps now. You'll be safer among them"
John" said Mrs Winston sternly. VIM
ston certainly did seem to be rather an ass,
thought the guest. Perhaps he ought not
to drink at all.
The table was cleared. The coffee came
on. Sir Henry took his cigar and looked
questioningly at his hostess.
You'll not let US drive you away?'
"Oh, no. I'm used to smoke. John
smokes like furnace. Now, if Nancy were

velvety voice.
Mrs winston gasped and was speeches..
"That's the very thing, Mary. QUILL fill
the bill. Sit down" said Winston, heartily.
The maid slipped into the chair opposite
the baronet, and smiled at him across the
roses.
His monocle fell into his coffee with
splash, and he made fruitless effort to pull
himself together.
This is a democratic country, you know,

The Englishman was still staring help
lessly across the roses.
The bewitching face beyond them beamed
upon him. The fugitive dimple had come
out boldly into the open, and the lips were
smiling deliciously.
He doesn't look unforgiving," said the
smiling lips. Don't bother, Elizabeth, I'll
explain
She did.
Two hours later Sir Henry stood once
more between the drawing room portieres,

The Losses of War.
From the Atlantic.

iToH lne NAihhlE
In cases where armies are recruited
chiefly or wholly from the offscourings OF
the population. the situation is different;
but with the so-called national army sys-
tenn of the nineteenth century things are
ordered to raise this element of cost
to a maximum. Historians never fail TO
record the loss which France suffered
when 3o0.coo Huguenots were driven out of
the kingdom, but they seldom give ade-
qUate attention to the cost OF the glorious
wars waged by the grand monarque and
the mighty Corsican. And yet, from the
Rhine TO Moscow. from the Alps TO Gala
bria, from the Pyrenees to Gibraltar a
century and half of magnificent combat
sowed the soil of Europe thick with the
skulls of Frenchmen, while distant India
and Egypt claimed share of the Offering.
and many provinces of France enEulfed
their quotas of brave soldiers. England.
too, as kipllng reminds US. has salted
down her empire with the bones of her
sons, deposlting much of the preservative
in the sea beyond the reach of spade or
ploughshare Upon human bones, in fact.
all empires are builded: and these things
must be taken into account when one tries
to estimate the gain and merchandise
thereof.

Nancy elevated her chin slightly, and
looked volumes of indifference.

"Oh. yes OF course. he's only baronet.

Fortunately Mrs. Winston loved nothing

sternly at the disreputable young person.

She happened to be looking at him, .no
their eyes met.
After all, young and pretty girl might
be foolish and easily fiattered without
meaning any harm. She was such chiid.
Internationally it was an Winstons fault.
