charge 50 cent& for a Sunday shave, instead of "
25 cents, as formerly. And the stranger goes
away with a feeling that he has been the victim
of graft. And ho has but it is a. graft fathered
by law.
As a matter of fact thousands of men aro
now shaving themselves who" never attempted
such a thing before, and all because they had to
learn to do so because they could not get serv
ice on Sunday.
There is no question of working seven days
per week. Any barber can take a day off in the
middle of the week.
The Argus does not blame any man for not
wanting to work on Sunday. But there are thou
sands who do so, and the services of many of
them are not nearly as necessary to the public
as that of a barber.
AMBROSE BIERCE IS PROBABLY
DEAD
By Bailey Millard.
War has blotted out another bright life that
of Ambrose Bierce, a unique figure in American
literature whose vivid army tales and keen satiri
cal papers and poems stamped him as one of
the most original and versatile of writers. Bierce
was a master of English, as even his most ephe
meral work will show, and technically none could
touch him. He corrected Kipling, and even How
ells, and in his critical essays he showed where
many other famous authors failed in their facts
or their diction. He wrote the most gruesome,
the most harrowing, the most terrible tales ever
published in this country. Some of his poems
were of rare strength and beauty. His invoca
tion is said to have been the real inspiration of
Kipling's Recessional, and in this instance news
paper men have pulled the deadly parallel to the
supposed confusion of the famous Englishman.
Bierce led a most remarkable life half her
mit, half Bohemian, and altogether egotistical
and cynical. In the west he was the most hated
and feared of writers, and also the most courted
and spoiled. He lampooned nearly everybody in
political and private life with hair-raising au
dacity. As the dean of Pacific coast letters he
made and unmade authors and poets. The dilet
tante worshiped him. He has been called "the
American Dean Swift," "the last of the satirists"
and. "the Maupassant of the west." He was an
iconoclast of the first order.
When Villa rose against Huerta and the Con
stitutionalists rushed to arms, Bierce, who was a
northern captain in the civil war and was brevet
ed major for exceptional gallantry, went to Mex
ico and joined the staff of the doughty general.
After the battle of Torreon he was missing and
has not been heard from since. There is so little
doubt of his death that his friends and relatives
have given up searching for him and mourn him
as lost. His publisher, the Neale company, which
was paying him royalties on his collected works,
cannot reach him with checks or letters of in
quiry, and neither his daughter, Mrs. H. D. Cow
den of Bloomington, 111., nor his secretary, Miss
Carrie Christiansen of Washington, with each
of whom he corresponded regularly, has had any
word from him for nine months.
At the time he joined Villa he was seventy-two
years old. His friends unite in saying that if ho
were alive he would not have left them so long
in suspense. There has been a report from San
Francisco that on leaving that city for Mexico
he was very despondent, (and that he was going
back to his old game of war because he lacked the
courage to comimit suicide. There is another
rumor that he actually did efface himself in
Sonora.
Neither of these stories deserves ciedenco.
