DAUGHTER OF SENATOR
SHUNS WEDDING TAG
Fola La Toilette, Who Married George
Middleton, Keeps Her
Own Name.

New York, Feb. 22.--Miss Foa La
Toilette, daughter of the Wisconsin SEN
ator. has not taken the name of George
Middleton, the dramatic author, to whom
she was married last October
She returned to New York from Chi
cago Monday and addressed suffrage
meeting Tuesday afternoon at the home
OF Mrs. Robert Adamson, wife of the
secretary to Mayor Gaynor.
Miss La Toilette explained ms fol-
lows why her maiden name appeared
on the program;
at was my desire to retain my own
name," said she, "and Mr.. Middleton
generously consented to it. ! believe a
woman who has done things should not
lose her personality when she marries.
II she takes her husbands name she,
to certain extent, loses the personality
which her work has given to her.
Il think the time is coming" said
the pretty suffrage advocate. "when all
women will retain their own family
names through matrimony.
ain the near future we shall regard
it just as reasonable for a wife to ask
her husband TO take her family name
as for a man TO ask the woman he mar
ries to adopt his name"

QUICK WIT OF THE
ENGINEER F0ILS BANDITS
Throws on Speed When Signaled to Stop
Despite the Bullet in His
Arm

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Feb. 22.--Five men
made an unsuccessful attempt to hold
up passenger train 0, west bound, on
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad at
3 O'Clock yesterday morning, near Ber-
tram, nine miles east of here.
The train is known as the fast mail
and carried no passengers. 1t was forced
to slow down to a speed of four miles
an hour on account of construction work
being done on the outskirts of the VIII
lage, and it was at this point the men
signaled the engineer to stop. Suspt-
cious of the irregular method used in
the engineer did not bring
his train to a stop. When the train
failed to stop, one of the bandits opened
fire on the engineer, hitting him in the
arm. Throwing on all steam, the engi-
neer brought his train to this city, where
a posse was formed and started in pur-
suit OF the bandits.

Washinqton's Horses.

General Washington was a splendid
horseman. There was no animal he
could not master. and he never lost his
seat in the saddle Fox hunting was
one of his favorite amusements. and
at the meet few of his friends or neigh
bors were better mounted than he.
He usually rode a large. fiery animal
of great endurance called Blueskin. The
names of some of his other horses were
Climbing. Valiant. Ajax and Magnolia.
The names of his hunting dogs were
Vulcan, Ringwood. Singer. Truelove,
Music. Sweetlips. Forester and Rock
wood. During the season he hunted
two or three times a week. His pleas
ure was not the find. but the hunt. for
he admits in his diary that the foxes
nearly always escaped. but the main
end I'm view. excitement and recreation,
had been achieved.

EDITOR CHAMP.
Speaker Revises Revision of the Old
"Houn' Song"

Washington, Feb 22.-The tunefpl
melody and dainty lyrics of the Mis-.
sour "Houn' Song" warbled by Speaker
Champ Clark, doomed through the corri-

The "Houn' Song" has become the
official slogan of the supporters OF the
Clark presidential boom, and yesterday
Secretary Bassford, the lord high keeper
of the boom, passed out engraved copies
of the words and music of the Missouri
anthem altered to fit the purpose OF the
Clark boom. They read:
Every time Champ Clark comes to town
The boys start kicbin' Joe Folk around;
Makes no difference if he is a houn
They gotta stop, kickin' Folk aroun'.'
The speaker strolled in while the
boomkeeper was making public the STAN

way;
"For every time | hear the SCUM
/ want to kick the writer roun';
Sounds like the bay of dying houu';
We oughta keep llickin' the fool aroun'."
The true and original version runs:
Every time I come to town
The boys keep kickin' my dawg aroun'.
Makes no diffrnnce if he is homi',
They gotta stop kickin' my dawg
aroun'"
