CAUGHT IN ACT IN DEPARTMENT STORE Tells a Pitiful Starr Ceert mt the stregsles Threes WMtnkMl te Provide Well for Only . Child. With her aged head bent with shame and WmofM and eyes that .were swollen and red ffom the trnra they had shed, Mrs. Bena Nelson, arrested by Special Officer Graham for shopntlng at the Boston store. Fiidsy afternoon, appeared before Judge Berka. charred with what aha tremblingly told the court was the first dishonest act f her life of more then sixty years. Eloquent of the truth was the confusion f her story, and It told In faltering words f a. mother-tore so great that all things else were consumed by It. Tears ago her husband died when their little farm In Custer county was hardly mora than a wilderness, and from that time on all the affection of the lonely woman bad been centered In her one child. And he tolled on and kept the farm, while the mother grew old and the child passed from babyhood to girlhood. And now the girl was to have been married In a few days and the mother came to Omaha with CM. that her two cows had been sold for. to get her child a wedding outfit "as good as anybody a girl had." But things cost more than she had thought and her tSO seemed a lltUe, after all, to get all she wanted. Goes from Store to Store. All day long she went from one big store to another, and because her own clothes were shabby and worn and her bent shoul ders wrapped In a frayed shawl, she thought perhaps she did not get the atten tion sbe otherwise might have. Time and again she counted over her money, privately, and every time' It aeemed more Inadequate to get all she wanted and such as sbe wanted. Then In the Boston store she saw two pieces of bright-colored silk and priced It. Six dollars and something, the clerk said, and then he turned away from the old woman to attend to some one else. The price was beyond her but there was no one. very near and no one looking so her Inexperience told her. The officer followed her to the toilet room and found her trying, with trembling bands, to stuff the fabric Into her dilapi dated canvas grip. She did not deny her guilt and went with him humbly and dry eyed. All this the adoring old mother told Judge Berka, and more, after her fashion, and he listened patiently and sympathetically. But he had to do his cuty. She paid a fine of IS from her hoard of $M and departed, slowly and hopelessly. MARRIED AT JHE CATHEDRAL Bride svad Urooaa Leaders Respec tively, la.
