When you are sick it’s CARE
you want.
Is Ambrose Bierce, the “Man of
Mystery,”—boy major in the civil war
and author of stories that have won
him the title of “Maupassant of the
west”—dead or alive? asks a Wash
ington correspondent.
For nearly two years he has been
mysteriously missing, being reported
dead at times, then appearing again
at some unexpected corner of the
world.
In December, 1914, the State de
partment received a report that Bierce
had been killed while fighting on Vil
la’s staff in Chihuahua. No American
consul could find trace of him.
On April 2, 1915, Bierce’s daughter,
Mrs. Helen Cowden, of Bloomington,
111. received a letter supposedly writ
ten by her father, saying he was a
member of the staff of Lord Kitch
ener.
Only a few weeks ago word was
received from Paris that Bierce was
lying wounded in a French hospital,
later his death was again reported.
A well known medium claims to
have received this message from the
spirit world: “Tell my friends and
my enemies that I, Bierce, the Bierce,
will retrun to America although I
have read my obituaries three differ
ent times.”
And so in literary, military and jour
nalistic circles, where Bierce’s name
may be heard frequently, the question
is asked again and again, “Is Bierce
dead or alive?”
Soldier, editor, author—hermit, bo
hemian, adventurer—cynic, sentimen-'
talist, egotist—Bierce’s life story re
mains incomplete, and it may remain
so forever.
Born in Ohio in 1842 Bierce enlisted
for the civil war in an Ohio regiment.
Peace arranged, he flipped a coin to
see whether he would follow a mili
tary or a literary career. Head, “lit
ery,” turned up, and Bierce began ed
iting the News Letter in San Fran
cisco.
Six years later he went to London
and made a hit with a book or satire
published under the title of "Cobwebs
from an Empty Skull.”
The most extraordinary piece of
journalism he did in his whole career
was editing a journal, The Lantern,
for Empress Eugenie, in order to pre
vent Henri Rochefort, after his escape
from Caledonia, from reviving La
Lanterne in London and again attack
ing the exiled empress in the vicious
manner that had caused her much suf
fering.
Returning to California in 1876,
Bierce did one remarkable thing after
another, making for himself a name
that was praised, damnaif and ridi
culed. He lampooned people in public
life, and he wrote some of the most
harrowing tales ever published in this
country.
In one of his poems, “Convales
cent,” he took this view of life:
“I'm safe, is that what the
physician said?
What? Out of danger? Then,
by heaven, I’m dead!”
Nevertheless, the question still re
mains unanswered, “Is Ambrose
Bierce dead or alive?”

SOCIALISTS ASK
ACTION UPON THE
COST OF LIVING
CHICAGO, III. The views of the
Socialist party on prevailing high pri
ces found expression in a resolution
on the high cost of living passed by
the national executive committee on
the party in meeting here recently.
The resolution is in part as follows:
“The growing cost of living, which
for years has been a grave problem
for the people of this country, is now
fast assuming the dimensions of a na
tional calamity. The unprecedented
increase of the world’s supply of gold |
has naturally resulted in a steady de- j
predation of money values and a cor- [
responding increase in prices of com
modities.
“The artificial scarcity created by |
the war is furnishing our industrial
and commercial autocrats a plausible j
pretext for extracting usurious prices j
for the remaining supplies, while the
middlemen add an additional heavy 1
tax on the helpless consumer. The ;
capitalist classes find easy compensa
tion for the rising cost of living in the ;
enormous increases in their revenues :
and profits. The burdens and miser-,
ies of the high cost of living fall al-!
most wholly on the working classes.
“The socialist party calls upon the
workers of the United States and up
on all progressive elements of the
country to combat this terrible men- j
ace of popular degeneration by radi- .
cal, energetic and immediate action j
in the political and economic fields.”

money away it mighty seldom ever comes back.
What’s going to happen to you when you have
no more money to waste? Why not open an ac
count here? $1.00 does it. Doing it once a week
for a year means $52 to the good for yon—and
