The Sense of Duty. A sense of duty pursues us ever. It Is omnipresent like the Deity. If we take to ourselves the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, duty performed or duty violated is still with us, for our happiness or our misery. If we say the darkness shall cover us, in the darkness as in the light our obligations are with us yet.

ANOTHER DROWNED AT INDIUM HARBOR Mike Kosik Drowns Before Many Visitors in Four Feet of Water. DroTrnings of the Season 22 Another very peculiar drowning took place in the Indiana Harbor canal in the rear of the American Steel Foundries company at Indiana Harbor when Mike Kosik, who boards in 3719 Watling street, Indiana Harbor, was drowned in full view of half a dozen men. The peculiar fact about the drowning is that Kosik was standing In water only a few feet deep when his head was seen to fall forward in the water, and he remained in that position until taken out of the canal by a man who came to his rescue. When Kosik was taken out of the water he was dead, and the conclusion which has been reached by those who are acquainted with the circumstances Is that Kosik was stricken with heart failure or apoplexy while in the water and that drowning was really not the immediate cause of his death. Swims to His Aid. The first man to Fee that Kosik was in distress was Charles KInko of Eralin's place in East Chicago. He swam across the canal and went to his rescue, but by the time he got to the body of Kosik, he was dead. As soon as the man had been taken out of the river the police were notified and Officer Gorman was sent to the scene of the drowning. He ordered the body taken to Teal's undertaking establishment, where it now lies. Mike Koisk is well known in Indiana Harbor, where he has been doing odd jobs around town for some time. It has been several months since he has had any regularemployment. Among those who witnessed the drowning were Peter Pop, Steve Bucheir and Andrew Shevlin, all of Indiana Harbor. To Cut Plate Glass. To cut a piece of plate glass It 1b thought a diamond cutter is necessary, but it Is not. If the glass is not very thick it can be cut with a pair of scissors, a large pair being preferable. While cutting hold the glass beneath half a foot or more of water, and it can be cut any shape desired. A round piece of glass has been cut out of a good sized pane in just this manner. The scissors do not have to be extra sham. Success.

OFFICER DOES GOOD

PIECE OF Joseph Ford Pinched in Gary by Milwaukee Cop Who Lands His Man. Joseph Ford, alias John Grant, was arrested in Gary yesterday as a result of a clever piece of work on the part of Officer John Mulcahey. Officer Mulcahey noticed a man on the street who did not look good to him and he followed him for several blocks. Finally he saw him go into the saloon in 1727 Broadway, known as Mandy's place, and waited outside to see what would happen. In a few minutes Ford came out and started down the street. Not a minute later Mandy came out of the saloon and looked up and down the street for an officer.' He called Mulcahey and said that he believed the man who had just left the store had passed a worthless check on him. Flares Him I'oder Arrest. Officer Mulcahey immediately caught up with Ford and placed him under arrest. When Ford was taken to the police station it was discovered that his picture was in one of the police journals and that he is badly wanted in Chicago. When his picture was shown to Ford he confessed to the fact that he was wanted in Chicago and said that he had a bad police record. The Chicago police were notified and as soon as they are heard from it will be decided whether he will be prosecuted here or in Chicago. There is no doubt that he will be given a term in the penitentiary, and the Gary officers are pleased to know that they have been the means of effecting his capture. New Holland Tramway System. The Dutch government has granted a concession to the Amsterdam & North Holland Tramway Company to build and operate an electric railway system in Holland. The route will be nearly 50 kiloms, running from Amsterdam north through Zaandam to Kromeminie, from Zaandyk to Wyk-aan-Zee, and Wormerveer to Purmerend. The Holland Development Company of Amsterdam will build the entire system. tF TOTJ DOST TAKE THE TXMKi fTHTt

HOLD UP RESTAURATEUR Go Into His Place and Order the Best in the House, Then Walk Out Without Paying. A number of linemen working on the Chicago-South Bend interurban started out Sunday to paint the town red, and in an hour the whole bunch had ended in a calaboose. Five of them in all, were arrested and charged with intoxication and disorderly conduct. Two of them gave the officers a hard fight before they were landed and it was necessary for the officers to use their batons to subdue the drunken rowdies. The party of about ten linemen, working near Gary, getting pretty well filled up with "red eye" thought that they could hold the town in their power through force of numbers. One of the places they entered was Warne's restaurant on Jefferson, near Tenth avenue. Sat at Lunch Counter. Here they sat the at the lunch counter and ordered the most expensive dinner that could be found on the bill of fare. After eating it they rose in a body and made for the door without paying for their dinners. The proprietor tried to stop them but the fellows gave him the laugh and left their bills unpaid. Several other p'aces they entered and tried to manage affairs until the police who had been notified found them and after a struggle the men were taken to the station.

Doubly Useful Mucilage. "If you make your own mucilage (one heaping teaspoonful of gum arabic to an ordinary muci'age bottle, gives it at a cheaper rate than that bought ready made), you can dispense with court plasters, liquid or otherwise, except where an antiseptic is necessary," says Women's Home Companion. "Ordinary cuts can be coated with it quite as effectively as with the patent preparation. Two coat thoroughly dried will stand the application of water better than anything but the adhesive plaster doctors use an Inconvenient, expensive luxury." Costly Popularity. France's cruiser Leon Gambetta is named after the famous politician, who died on December 31, 1882. In the times of his intense popularity Gambetta had an experience which he was wont to tell against himself. In Paris admirers unyoked his horses and dragged -the carriage to his house. Gambetta would narrate this with an air of pride, and he would add, with a smile: "But I never saw my horses again.'"
