GAVE WINNINGS TO A CHURCH
A Gambler Who Devoted Some of His
Gains to a Good Purpose

Your tribute to the generosity of the
western Kansas gamblers" said an old
time resident of Leavenworth yester-
day, reminds me of little episode
which fell under my own observation
One day. in 1865, was standing near the
Planters hotel, engaged in conversation
with Col. C. r. Jennison. At that tima
he was in the zenith of his gambling
glory, and had money to throw at the
birds. AS we talked, three nice-looking
ladies stepped up, and the spokeswoman
said:
Col Jennison, we are soliciting sub
scriptions to build Baptist church.
rs that so, replied the colonel, as he
bowed politely. We'll, where are you 60
ing to build it?'
THE lady pointed out the location of
the proposed sacred edifice, and, while
she was talking, Jennison reached into
his vest pocket and drew out $100 BILL
This he slowly twisted up in the form of
a taper, while look, half quizzical and
half shame-faced, came over his counte-
nance. After the lady had finished, he
said, in a hesitating sort of way, which
stood in remarkable contrast to his usual
bluntness:
"'Well, madam, have here $100 bill.
which I won at gambling. If you will
take it for the church you are welcome
to it.
"'Col. Jennison,' responded the wo-
man, I think that money will do us mora
good than it would you.' after which she
received the bill, and departed, as smil-
ing and happy as only woman can
who has done somthing for her church.

Dying Eyes Imprinted on Spectacles

An optical phenomenon is reported to
have attended the closing hours of Mrs.
E. " B. Thomas, go years old, wife of a
we'll known resident of Fiehkill village.
A few hours before the end the dying
woman raised herself in her bed and
asked that her eyeglasses be brought,
that she might look for the last time
upon the picture of the child of her sis
ter-in-law, Mrs. S. j. Raby, who lives in
Westcheeter county, whose photograph
had just been received. She gazed in
tently at the picture for about minute
and half, while her stepdaughter, Mrs.
Elsie Cadmus, of Washington, D. c.,
supported her on her pillow. Then she
fell back, and Mrs. Cadmus removed the
glasses and placed them in a china tea
cup on the mantelpiece by the bed.
When Mrs. Cadmus came to look at
the glasses on the day of the funeral
she found upon them bold imprints
which she recognized as the outlines of
the pupils of the eyes of the dead wo-
man, so clear and sharp that they might
have been ground into the lenses by a
eandblast or etched in with fluoric acid.
The print of the right eye is on the inner
surface Of the lens. while that of the
left is on the outer Mrs. Cadmus is
sure no one touched them from the time
when she took them from her STEP
mothers nose.
The family will not allow the glasses
to be cleaned, but will keep them as a
relic, whatever the final decision may be
as to the nature of the strange markings
upon them. The standing of the family
is such as to preclude the possibility of
their perpetratfng hoax. The gen.
orally accepted belief here is that the
prints upon the lenses are some marvel
