SAN FRANCISCO, March =
Abe Ruef is such poor loser
that he had to be dragged back
into court to be schooIed in the
rules of losing.

respite from entering the peniten-
tiary gates of San Quentin, grant
ed the reluctant bribe prisoner to
give him time to wind up his per-
sonal and business affairs, ne had
to be re'buked for activities con-
strued to aim at defeat of the
commitment. 1t was feared that
Ruef would invoke a trick of law
to escape going over" Going
over Is the way he speaks of be-
lginning his 14-year term.
The slippery ex-boss of San
Francisco, brought into court,
was pinned down to the fact that
he must go over. Upon penalty
of going over at once a new pledge
was extorted from him that five
hours notice must be given before
he made any move to prevent the
commitment, still three days off.
Fhey could get him into the penf-
Tertiary in five hours.
Ruef gave his promise with an
appearance of utmost readiness.

THE NEW STYLE.

- WASHINGTON, D. c., March 7.
The war department has dis
covered that soldier isn't a pack
horse, with the result that the
weight of his load of tools and
supplies is to he cut down from
5 to 80 pounds.
In the ,olden days the soldier
marched off to war with tent on
his back, wad of blankets slung
across his shoulder, haversack
pulling down behind, a cartridge
box pulling down in front, a tin
can dangling between his legs, to
say nothing of various other cans,
sticks, bags and pouches that
Tapped about his loins, pounded
his plevis and sagged him down
in the middle, generally. He got
tired easily and was sore much of
the time from carrying so mucn
junk.
All that is to be changed. There
is now a compact little kit that
fits snugly on the soldier boys
back, gives no special annoyance,
and allows him some comfort
while on the hike. His hideous
old hat is also in the discard, and
he will have one that is really
comfortable, much lower in the
crown, and with broader brim.
A shelter or pup" tent Is now
used, each soldier carrying hah,
while his bunkie Carries the other
half. A rifle makes the single
tent pele. An intrenching tool Is
also a necessity, for with picks
and shovels whole regiment can
dig into hiding IN ~ saconds.
