SAYS SPIRIT LEFT BODY
AND SOAKED INTO SPACE

MTS. BAKER +. Lee, now OF Los
Angeles, but formerly of Dam
vile. Va, and wife of Rev. Baker
P. Lee, SON of the late Major
Baker P. Lee, of Hampton. Va,
firmly believes her disembodied
spirit was transported into the
hereafter and then returned to
its tenement of clay. Mrs. Lees
experience came after a long
illness and she firmly believes
that for minute or two she was
dead, in the ordinary acceptance
of the word, and that her soul.
winging its way back from the
clouds revived her body.
Mrs. Lee seemed to be dead
when the vision came to her.
Her recital will be sent to Sir
Oliver Lodge, president of the
British society for physical re-
search. Her own story of the
remarkable experience follows:
I had been unconscious most
OF the time. My periods of
lucidity were few and brief. Just
before the experience which be-
fell me, as my nurse afterwards
told me. my heart seemed to
stop beating.
I had been wheeled to the
window in a chair, where l sat
looking out. l found everything
most beautiful and delightful
the trees, flowers, the sky sum
light, the birds singing, all ma
ture joyous under the flood tide
of a perfect day.
The nurse suddenly started
and said. Why, she's gone.
She called to my husband and
and said, Come quick, she's
gone
1 saw my husband come in.
He looked at me and exclaimed,
My God. has it Gomez l tried to
open my eyes, but I could not. 1
said to myself, I am not sdead.'
but l was powerless to move.
Then the four children were
brought in, weeping, and they
looked at me. Presently they
all went out. Then my father
stepped into the room, just as he
used to be in life. He and I were
chums. l said, I'm not dead
He replied, not yet, not yet.
Then he went out.
Suddenly 1 felt my spirit
leaving my body. 1t was gone
in an instant, leaping out, a
joyous, light and exhilarating
release of the very essence of
life into space.
NV form remained the same,
but the substance had utterly
changed. 1t was now a trans
lucent vapor, capable, at my will,
of going Immediately to any
place.
l possessed all my faculties,
imagination, will and memory. l
was among the clouds, knowing
the JOY of fight. Then l came
down and lowered over the city,
saw the people along Broadway,
and wished with all my strength
to be able to reveal myself to
some to let them know that life
after death was beautiful.
But all this kime knew l
was not dead, and so at the end
of a period of time of whose
duration I can not form an idea,
and after experiencing unimagi-
nable joys, l went back into my
body with that instantaneous
possession which had characte-
lied my departure.
THE entire experience was
too real for 4 dream and since
, having it l have been firmly con-
WINGED that ! dwelt, for a time,
upon the edge of eternity and
knew, in part at least, what the
future life is. The knowledge
has comforted me. because it re-

AGAINST WOMEN's POCKETS
New York Newspaper Gives Eight
Reasons for Its Opposition to
Proposed Move.

/. Because pockets are not a natural
right.
2. Because the great majority OF
women do not want pockets. II they
did, they would have them.
3. Because whenever women have
had pockets they have not used them.
4. Because women are expected to
carry enough things as it is without
the additional burden Of pockets.
5. Because it would make dissension
between husband and wife as to whose
pockets were to be filed.
8. Because it would destroy mans
chivalry toward woman If he did not
have to carry all her things in his
pockets.
7. Because men are men and women
the women. We must not fly In the
face of nature.
8. Because pockets have been used
by men to carry tobacco, pipes, whisky
TASKS, chewing gum and compromis
ing letters. We see no reason to sup
pose that women would use then
more wisely.-New York Tribune.
