A gray haired woman with a brown
shawl wrapped close to her tear
stained face sought an audience with
William H. Egan, station master at

Jahnke, Mr.. Egan's assistant, heard
a pathetic tale of how an injured son

how heartbroken mothers slender

Bayonne to the Pennsylvania
Terminal.
After hearing her story, Mr.. Egan
went into his Office to count out the
money necessary to take the woman
TO her sons bedside. Then came a
thud, a tingle and a scream. The thud
followed after the elusive something
had broken; a cloth bag fell from
under the woman's skirt, spilling a
flood of gold pieces.
With a cry, she fell on the floor
and began scooping up her money.
After a bit. she asserted five dollars
was missing. At the urging of Mr..
Egan she counted again and said II

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-There is
mild rejoicing in all the suffragist
camps in New York over the dis
patch from Philadelphia to the effect
that It was Old Man Noah, who
marched the animals into his ark
two by two who was the original
sinner, instead of Mother Eve.
Il always suspected that Garden
Of Eden story, anyway said Miss
Florence NJ. Harmon, organizer for
the Political Equality Association
1T sounds too much like the way
men talk today / am glad the truth
is out at last"
Miss Laura Ryan, suffragist, said
Il always suspected Noah. Eve was
lady. and is the mother Of all the
good people in the world. But II you
have never read the ninth chapter OF
Genesis you will remember that
Noah, after the flood and his getting
OF the water became a husbandman
planted a vineyard and got drunk on
his own vintage"
Miss Clara Savage Of the National
Women's Suffrage Association said
The suffragists have been expecting
for years that Eve would be vindi.
