"Doorknob Thief" Embarrasses the
Servants Who Stay Out Late

Berlin, Oct. A new thief has cap
tured the title of being the ''meanest
thief" recently conferred upon the man
who had been stealing gravestones from
the cemeteries. It is the "doorknob
thief" who has been stealing the brass
doorknobs from houses in the city at
Cassel. Z
Numerous people in Cassel hive been
coming home nights lately to find that
they could not get in because the door
knob was gone; others found them miss
ing upon getting up in the morning.
Kitchen fairies-in plain languages,
cooks--particularly were incensed. Out
after hours allowed them, to hold tryst
with policeman or other gallant, they
were compelled to ring the bell and
knob was missing. It is a new speciality.

armies in the Russo japanese War, and
~ Sentaro Sekizawa, his accomplice,
accused Of attempting to sell military
maps to Colonel Charles Burnet. Amer
lean military attache, opened yesterday
In the Toxic District Court.
The testimony Of the accused clearly
showed that the Japanese approached
Colonel Burnet with sale offers, but the
American refused on the ground that
the embassy already had most of the
maps and the others were too old to
be of military value.
1t is charged that Oyama, while act
ing as clerk of surveying party on the
Japanese Siberian expedition, stole 214
maps of Siberia, including the forbidden
1one of Nladivostok and Nikolsk that
both of the accused attempted to sell
them to Colonel Burnet and contracted
for their sale. but it Is not established
that both of the accused knew the maps
contained military secrets.
Oyama testified that the maps were
taken when the japanese seized Habar
ovsk in 1913, and that the japanese
officers used them as scrap paper.

ut may be%in the evening
When the work of the day is done
And you have time to sit in the twilight
And watch the sinking sun,
While the long. bright day dies slowly
Over the sea,
And the hour grows quiet and holy
With thoughts of me;
while you hear tho village children
Passing along the street
Among those thronging footsteps
May come the sound of my feet
Therefore, I tell you: Watch
by the light OF the evening star
When the moon is growing dusky
AS the clouds afar:
Let the door be the latch
In your home,
For 1t n'ay be through the cleaning
I will come.
TT may be when the midnight
Is heavy upon the land.
And the black wa~es lying dumbly
Along the sand;
When the moonicss night draws close
And the lights out in the house:
When the FIRE burns low and red,
And the watch IS Tickling loudly
Beside the bed;
Though you sleep, tired out. on your couch
Still your heart must wake and watch
IN the dark ROOM
For il may be that at midnight
| will come.
TT may be in the morning
When the sun is bright and strong
And the dew is giittering sharply
over the little lawn;
And the watch is ticking loudly
Along the shore
And the little birds singing sweetly
About the door;
with the long days work before you.
You rise up with the sun
And the neighbors come in to talk
A little. Of all that must be done.
But remember that l may be the next
To come in at the door.
