HO is the meanest man In Omaha?
WSome months ago the editors seemed to agree that this per
son was a housebreaker then operating in our city, a miscreant
who broke into peaceful citizens' homes and robbed babies' banks
of their pennies.
But that was all a miscalculation.
The meanest man in Omaha parked a fine seven-passenger car on
Eighteenth street, not far from the city hall, yesterday afternoon. He was
accompanied by his' wife, who hurried to her Christmas shopping, leaving
her motoring coat in her husband's care.
The roat was a beautiful garment, modish and rich, and lined through
out with heavy satin of a delicate pink shade.
"YouH call with the car for me in time?" said the woman as ahe hur
rled for Famarri street.
The meanest man In the world, perhaps, watched his wife disappear
around the corner of the city hall then he lifted up her beautiful coat with
its delicate lining and spriad it over the front of the machine to keep the
engine warm. v
Oh. such a roan! The utter and bottomless depths of the meanness of
him! 'TIs a positive pleasure to expose such a rascal as he.

WOOS BRIDE FROM
CAREERAS NURSE
Cupid's Summons More Powerful
Than Call of Red Cron Service
to San Francisco Girl.
COUPLE MEET AND WED HERE
How Theodore C. Jelsema, 24, of
Grand Rapids, Mich., as an ardent
wooer, won Miss Helen Nealandler,
23, of San Francisco from a career
as war nurse, by his pleadings, and
persuaded her to marry him, is a
story which wag revealed at the'mar
rlago license counter ' at the court
bouse.
They met In Omaha, each making
a long trip by train. They were'mar-
rled by Justice of the Peace Cross-
man.
Six months ago Miss Nealandler
said "No."
Phe was planning to return to France,'
her native country, to 'enter the service
of the Red Cross and nurse wounded
French soldiers. -
"My country Is calling me," ahe told
her lover. "I must return to my dear
Paris.".
They did not see each other from that
time until today, but Jelsema wrote let
ters, many letters, and they spoke of
love and the happiness of home aa com
pared . with the hardships of a French
campaign.
Mies Nealandler hesitated and delayed
and eventually Cupid's summons proved
stronger than the call of her country.
"We are very happy." she aald, after
she had become Jelsema's wife.
