8 11 IK BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1013 By MELLIFICIA. Tuesday, December 7, 1915. 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.
