Smith Comes to
Help of Schmidt
Curtailing Nam Troubles Mrs.
Schmidt and District Clerk is
Asked to Mend Matters.
Robert Smith, clerk of district court, la
busy concocting a letter which will, it is
hoped, allay a mother's fears.
Some years ago Mr. and Mrs. Robert 1
Bchmidt came to South Omaha from Ger
many, where the family name had been
Linenschmldt. Mr. Linenschmldt went to
work for a packing company and the fore
man, not catching the name properly and
supposing that the first two syllables con
stituted the man's middle name, put down
the new employe on the rolls as Robert L.
Schmidt.
And Schmidt it has been ever since. The
bearer of the curtailed cognomen caught
something of the American spirit of hurry
and impatienoe, so when he took out first
naturalization papers he put himself down
as Robert Schmidt. Likewise with the sec
ond papers, so that so far as any on may
say now. Schmidt is his legal name.
But Mrs. Schmidt (or Linenschmldt) does
rot exactly understand how this may be
and she Is worried because she thinks some
Toubt is oast by this change of nomencla
ture on the legitimacy of the family's chil
dren. These children are, of course, born
in as lawful wedlock as anyone's else and
their legitimacy Is not open to the slightest
question.
But Mrs. Schmidt has been restive under
ven her attorney's assurances to this ef
fect, and so she has written to district
court urging that a Judicial order be en
tered changing her husband's name from
Linenschmldt to Schmidt. All the judges
ate of the opinion that the man's name
now Is Schmidt and they therefore decline
to act. So Mr. Smith has been called upon
to write on official paper-a more or less
formal pronouncement that her husband's
name Is Schmidt and not Linenschmldt.
"I could have faked up an official paper
with a red seal and easily satisfied the
woman, said John G. Kuehn. her attornev
"and it would have amounted to as much
as Smith's letter, but perhaps this Is the
beat way."
She Gave Him
Skimmed Milk
Husband Says, in Divorce Answer
that Wife Took All Cream
for Her Own Coffee.
George H. Place cites an unusual Item of
cruelty in hln answer to the divorce plea
of Mrs. Margaret Kllen Place. Mr. Place,
who is Ida vwn attorney, alleges that hia
wife "would not permit him to eat any
delicacies which he had brought home for
the family table."
lie says In Illustration of this thst Mrs.
Place would skim the cream off the milk,
lake the crtam for herself and make the
defendant use "only skimmed milk diluted
with water." Place makes a further charge
that Mrs. Place would not work around
the house and alleges a conspiracy on the
part of his fatim-ln-law and his brother-iu-iaw
to git his wife to leave him.
