V.H-M BIEttCE IN ACTION AGAIN Riprre ha been found: -or . to be exact he has discovered himself , ' t a world which long ago accepted: ' his death estimated his writings, ad( read his obituaries. When last heard: ' from he was fighting with Villa in I Mexico; now he is fighting in France, i Bierce is more than seventy years of age, veteran of the Civil War. At , the conclusion of the struggle he flipped coin to determine whether, 1 .wnnM turn writer or keen on uS an army mart. Minerva won Over Mara; but the author's war experience cropb out in every one of his tales. His re fusal to shield his readers from the i .horrible, his penchant for blood-letting and corpses in fiction, are attributes of a man who has seen the full fury of war.''- ;;'",:' : 't '!.': ';'".-;';'': ;J:; i.-.. Though Bierce laid' down the : mus ket for the pen he remained a battler. In San Francisco, which was his resi dence for years, he was a great gorco ' for civic righteousness and might have been a popular hero if his synicism had let him smile upon the popular whims. For years lie fought Collis P. Huntington and the Southern Paci fic crowd which controlled : California politics.' ... . Bierce went to Mexico Because he .wanted to see troops in action again before he died. Some of Villa's most telling blows are attributed to the ad vice of this grizzled strategist. When How About Your -.I.-. . . --'...' . Eyes v - hie family and publisher failed to locate him it was taken for granted that tho writer had met his death; al though one of hia intimate relations advanced the inoresti.g opinion that was just like Bierce to absent himself for the sardonic joy of reading what -.i nt him when thev thoiurht JbV'D - ...... - ihim tucked safely away beneath the I, When Ambrose Bterca rerurni w may look for something new in the w nf u literature: in Skill and ex- all the rhetorical youngsters now galloping over Europe in the name ot tne press. DISBARRED . FROM OFFICE Collier's, discussing the death of Charles Francis Adams, considers Jt remarkable that this man. of vigor, brains, business judgment and fight ing patriotism was never dafted into public service. Considering his high talents and all around service ability the governmental positions he held wer few, inconsequential and uniform ly appointive. Parties never sought him out to carry their standards as they did his grandfather and great grandfather, both presidents of the United States. His genius was forced to find outlets in other directions, in writing and in business.. vfe- ,v-.i '-;'. Massachusetts elected eight medio cre senators while passing Adams by; Boston's mayors have been jokes cdm pared to Boston's foremost citizen, pie of the United States in gneral and and New England in. particular have hot lost the power of judging be tween substantial, and sham states manship. " . From a political standpoint Adams was fit for any office within the gift of the voters, but it is doubtful if he could have been elected in these lat ter days even a mfnor post. He was' too 'reserved to play the demagogue too learned to try short cuts to pub lie favor, 'too rich to commend him self to those who. distrust a rich man more fervently than they distrust a burglar. The very qualities which plac ed him above suspicion and medio .crlty served to disbar him from popu lar favor. ; . The ' Western Union has sold a telegraph, line for one dollar and an eastern railroad recently tore up its track and sold it for junk. Yet-these are some of the gigantic business ven tures wWch captains of finance proud ly boasted of organizing. . And not long ago pne of J. P. Morgan's pet organizations went on the rocks jnak ing a ream of etock certificates worthless. So, after all, the wheel turns round. -- Your good luck will come and your bad luck will put in anappearance' .Keep that Mn mind, whether you be a capitalist, a pro moter or a mere private in ,the. army of commerce like a newspaperman, , slowly else it will call .forth the wrath of Ike Bingham and Frank Davey, and then we all know what will will nappen. -Mf - :.
