SLEW DKEIt WITH 11 IS KNIFE, Texas Paper Likens Foal to tho Talcs ot' liaron Munchausen. (Weatherford. Texas, Herald.) And now comes one of tho best bunting stories of the year, lt has leaked out that O'Neal hendy, a Wea therford Collego student .killed a deer with an ordinary pocket knife while ho was at homo in Palo Pinto county last, week-end. Tho story when first heard ls rem iniscent of tho hair-raising tales of Baron M?unchnusen, who has been voted In literary circles as Ananias Second. Consideration of tho circum stances leading up to tho slaughter of the deer by Dendy, however, show that the affair is not so unbelievable as lt might seem. Accord i tig to tho story, Dendy and some friends fell jn behind a pack of bounds, who were in hot pursuit of tho fleeing deer. None of the party possessed a gun. Dendy, being the lloetesi of foot, soon outdistanced tho others. Tim dogs had chased the deer until it was in a state of ex haustion, and Dendy came upon it whore it plunged into a creek. In tho excitement of tho chase he produced his pocket knife and hopped into tho waist-deep waler and laid hold of the exhausted deer, which could put up but feeble resistance. Tho animal was soon laid out by cuts lu the throat. Dendy brought some relies ol* his deer hunt to Weatherford when ho returned to school after the holidays. He has been exhibiting them to his friends. What He Wanted to Know. (San Francisco Argonaut.)

' Quos! loas. Lnto dispatches from Now York and Washington give tho following interesting facts and speculations: New York.-Bainbridge Colby,who was Secrotary of Stato In President Wilson's cabinet, has announced that his law partnership with the former President will terminate Deo. 31, at the expiration of their copartnership agreement. Tho announcement was made from tho local olllces of Wilson & Colby. Beyond saying that the former President ' .s turning his energies once again to suhjects which have long invited him," .Mfr. Colby mado no statement as to Mr. Wilson's plans for tho future. It was announced that Mr. Colby would continuo tho prac tice of law in this city. "As a result of the steady gain in Mr. Wilson's health during the last few months," Mr. Colby said, "which has been so gratifying to his friends, ho is turning bis energies once moro to subjects which have long Invited him, and tho importance of which can not be over-ostlmated." Termination of the professional relationship with "Ir. Wilson was with tho keenest regret, he said, and addod: "Mr. Wilson's disciplined power and ct'eetiveness as a lawyer have been a veritable revelation, consid ering the long interruption of his ac- 1 tivo work at the har. Ile bas taken a most activo Interest in tho work of tho linn and has shown the same ef fectiveness .Ihn t he displayed in every held into which ho turned his ener gies. "Our relatinos aro of tho most cor dial character imaginable, as they have always been." Speculation in Washington. Washington.- Bainbridge Colby's announcement of tho termination of 1 his law partnership with Woodrow Wilson is no surprise to Washington, ' and is regarded as an added evidenco 1 that the former President is again turning his attention to politics, par- ' ticularly thc fortunes of the Demo cratic party in 10 2 1. What degreo of leadership Mr.Wil son may expect to assn me in his par ty is probably known to himself only at this time, and it is doubtful that even the few who aro numbered as his confidants can venture to speak with any authority on the subject. Since the whole question of tho for mer President's political activities depends largely upon tho condition of his health, it may be sahl that his physical condition ls virtually the same as it was a year ago, and that recent, callers report his mind as ac tive as it evin' was. When ho left the White House in far worse physical condition than be Is to-day. it was Mr Wilson's inten tion to remain apart from politics. But as the recent campaign drew near he yielded to the suggest ions of those closo about him and took some part hy way of wrtiing letters, which were introduced into tho campaign in various States. At the same time Mr. Wilson renewed bis activity in inter national affairs and hogan keeping himself closely advised on develop ments in ICurope. Various conjectures arc advanced in political circles as to how promi nent a part Mr. Wilson may take in the campaign of 1914. His inten tions are undoubtedly known only to himself, although it is known that he is being urged to take a prominent part, and that bis moro favorable physical condition is being urged up on bim as one reason why he should. Tho fact that M|r. Wilson has been doing a lit'lo better than holding his own physically, however, has led lo exaggerated reports that ho has boon walking about tho streets of Wash ington unassisted, and that his dis ability has almost entirely disap peared. Although it can be stated that tho former President's physical condition is better now than lt was the day he left tho White House, ho still (Iuds lt necessary to placo a lim itation upon thc time he devotes to callers and letter writing, and de vote? tho greater part of his time to rest and recreation.

HISTORY'S HYSTERIES THE RIDDLE OF THE CYCLOPS j ip CLIPSING the other mysteries ol -'-'tho World wnr nnd overshadowing all other unsolved riddles of the sea with the possible exception of the mat ter of the Marie Celeste-the unex plained loss of ono of tho United States colliers, Cyclops, stands pre* eminent, apparently ono of. the few cases on record where the sea literally opened and swallowed a huge boat, | leaving not the Slightest truco of the Vessel or her crew, i The brief and formnl announcement of the Navy department by Secretary Daniels Issued at tho time that the Cyclops was officially added to the list of missing ships, gives tho principal details In tho case, few and Inadequate as they are: "It was on March 4, 1018,"* read this announcement, "that the collier Cyclops, 10,000 tons dis placement, put into the British West Indies for coal. She was duo In ber home port on March 18. Since her departure from that port there baa not been a trace of tho vessel, and long-continued and vigilant search of the entire region proved, utterly futile, not a vestige of the wrcckogo having been discovered. "No reasonable explanation of her strange disappearance cnn bo given.; It is known that ono of her two en glues was damaged, and that she was proceeding nt reduced speed, hut If tho engine had become disabled lt '. would not have bad any effect upon ' her oblllty to communicate by radio.1 Many theories have been advanced, but none that seems to account satlsfac- j torlly for the ship's complete vanish ment. After months of search and i wnltlng, the Cyclops has been, finally given up ns lost and her name stricken ! from the registry." But these ore only the barest facts bi the case, and make no mention of one of the most interesting points con- j j nected with the mystery-the fact that the Cyclops carried as a passen- ! ger Alfred Louis Moreau Gottschalk,1 American consul general at Rio ? Janeiro and a man who had been in-! I strumentnl In stirring up sentiment j throughout Brazil In favor of the ' 1 nilled forces. A number of nnony- ! mons communications threatening his life had been received hy the consul general prior 'to his return to tho United States, In order to resume bia commission In the Fifth regiment of New York, but the most startling fact of all was that within two weeks^ after tho Cyclops sidled and nt least a month before she wns reported as ; ndsslng a notice appeared in a Rio Janeiro newspaper stating *thnt a : requiem mass would be celebrated for j the American consul general "lost at sea In the American collier Cyclops." A number of Americans In 'Brazil noticed the announcement at tho time nnd made Inquiries nbout It, hut the newspaper in question disclaimed any knowledge of the person who had in serted the notice and Itt tie attention was paid to lt until word was re ceived from tho States that the collier wns long overdue. American secret service agents then tried to trace the clue of tho newspaper clipping, but the trail was too cold. The mon#who had brought It Into the office of the newspaper had disappeared aa com pletely aa had the Cyclops I Among the theories advanced for tho failure of the vessel, seaworthy In the extreme, and In the best shape snve for a minor accident to one of her engines, was that she had either been sunk by a German submarine op erating In West Indian waters or that she had been captured and taken into Germany In order ? that tho central powers might have the benefit of the large cargo of manganeso <vhlch she was earrylng. One of tho first acts of the American authorities ofter the signing of the armistice, therefore, was to examine all German r .cords deal ing with naval operations during the period of tho war. But, vhlle refer ence was found to tho sinking of every vessel which had be i torpe doed, together with the dr> ' * of the attack and the name of tho officer com manding the submarine or raider, no mention whatever was to he located concerning tho Cyclops.
