Washington, Aug. 6.-Rap;d progress has been

the plans of the Burnham commission, which
involve an ultimate expenditure Of $5oe000c3
of which nearly one-half has already beer de-

The expenditures now being judciousy raade

 (Neale Publishing Co)
 The best short story writer using the English language today is Ambrose Bierce. Pretty broad statement, eh? It is. but 1t will win if played as it is laid, as they say out in the west where MT. Bierce comes from. MT. Bierce is one of the original organizers and contributors of the San Francisco "Argunaut," one of the best critical journals in this country to- day. MT. Bierce lives in Washington now. He contributes only about two pages to William Randolph Hearsts magazine the Cosmopolitan, every month. and for which he is paid the sum Of $5O0O a year. Ger trude Atherton and numbers of other sue cessfu writers are students of or have been under this great westerner. The Neale Publishing company are preparing to publish MT. Bierce's complete works, Including, of course this one here dis cussed, called Gan Such Things Be-. There is no other book published which Will give more pleasure Tn the reading than this volume. and it will give a bet ter idea to a student of the short story on its successful construction. These stories are thrilling, some are supernat- ural, full of morbid but most entertaining material. The fact of the matter Is these stories cannot be told about in a re- view, they will have to be read to be appreciated. There is nothing better. Take this reviews word for it-that word ho can't lose by reading :'Can Such Things Re9''
