Aunt Bridget was In the hall, and
when Father Dan. who had grown
more and nmre excited as we APP

asked how my mother was now, poor
thing. she answered;
Worse. distinctly worse; past

SUFFRAGE GRANTED
WOMEN IN TWO STATES

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Woman suf-
frage leaders rejoiced when belated re-
turns indicated that votes for women
had been apparently granted in two
of the seven states voting on the ques-
tion in last Tuesdays election. First
returns had indicated defeat of the
granting of the franchise to women
in all seven states concerned.
Montana and Nevada, according to
the latest returns, granted votes to
women, while Nebraska showed such a
small vote against the proposal that
the women claimed the state. The in
dications are they will lose the state.
Missouri, Ohio and North and South
Dakota refused to grant equal suffrage,
the vote against granting the fran
chise to women increasing with the
size of the population concerned.
The effect of women's votes on pro-
hibition indicated that women do not
unanimously oppose saloons.
