A Mashlnaton Note.

One Of the minor historical myster
les Is whether George Washington
ever held a commission in the British
army. In 174S one George Washing
ton was gazetted to a colonelcy in the
Queens Royal Regiment Of Dragons
The George Washington in question
vas never on the active list, and it is
quite within the bounds Of possibility
that the mar who made the great
American republic may actually have
held a British commission.-Dunde

Sums Catering to Pleasures Of
the Populace.

Bombita, the famous Spanish bull
fighter. is retiring from the ring.

Spain, has been over $4,000 a year!
AS a matter of fact, presents, special
lees, and so on have brought Bonn
Dita's annual income up to $3.50, 900
during the last few years. If It were
not that a matador spends as freely
as he earns, Bombita's fortune would
have amounted to far more than $780,
OO0.
The 20 most famous bull-ighters in
Spain earn between them $1,000, 900 a

In fact. he is treated like a king, And

Bull fighters begin as chulosl, the
men who wave red cloths to madden
the bull. When qualified they be-
come banderillos and stick darts into
