Anecdotes of Colonel Eye.

Colonel Eye was a famous character
In the early days. Although living in
Doniphan county, he was often In Atch-
ison. followed by a pack Of hounds.
He was a high toned southern gentle
man. with a kind heart.
One day while returning home from
this city he came across a man whose
wagon was stuck in the mud In hide
pendence creek bottom. Colonel Eye
at once started in to help the man pry
out his wagon with a fence rail.
While both were working away Eye
became angry and yelled to the man,
Lift, you son of gun; you are not
lifting a pound" The man picked up
the end gate of the wagon and split it
over Eyes head. laying him up for
three weeks. Eye had his hat off when
he was struck and was SO bald before
coming to Kansas that he was known
as the Bald Eagle Of Maryland.
Eye always carried a pistol and was
always trying to shoot through some
body's hat without hitting him. One
day, at the Independence creek ferry,
he shot at a man, but aimed a little
low and creased him. But Eye was
always a gentleman; he took the man
into his home and tenderly cared for
him until he recovered.-Atchison

Decided to the Lord.

The most remarkable deed ever
drawn may be seen on the private es-
tate Of resident of Worcester In Mas
sachusetts. 1t is chiseled on q rock
on what is known as Rattlesnake hill,
situated near the boundary line be-
tween Worcester and Leicester.
Old Solomon Parsons, who was wide
Iy known in Worcester county as an
eccentric character, and particularly
as crank on the subject Of religion,
paid William c. Hall $125 for a parce.
Of land, and directed Hall to convey 1t
by deed to the Almighty. In order
that the greatest possible publicity
might be given to his disposition of the
property Parsons had the deed Of
transfer cut into the rock verbatim ct
literatim.
During his lifetime Parsons is said
to have made several attempts to have
the deed recorded, but the register Of
deeds, who was aware of his eccen-
tricity, each time put him off with the
explanation that no official record was
required in the case of transfer of
real estate to the Almighty.
Parsons died intestate several years
ago, and the administrator included
the parcel Of land on Rattlesnake hill
in the inventory Of the old gentleman's
estate which he filed in the probate
court. A wag of lawyer raised the
question of title, but the judge decided
