HOW IT FEELS TO BE DEAD. Undesirable Experience of J. H. Whyte of Kansas City, Kan- Kansas City Times. J. H. Whyte of Kansas City, Kan., in conversation with a reporter for the Times, recently told a hair- raising experience the like of which few men have met with which certainly no one is desirous of un- and dergoing. “I know all the pains and horrors of death from actual experience,” said Whyte. story. I will not exaggerate a par- ticle in telling it. As no one will deny,the thought of death is always more or less repellant, especially if you happen to be a little wild like I have been. I had often thought of the sensation one would undergo in deatb, previous to the time of my remarkable and altogether too real experience of death iteelf. ButI had formed but few correct impres- sions of how I really felt in that nearly real last eventful hour. I had supposed that it must be a moment of horrible anguish and suspense concerning the future be- yond the mortal, of repentance for past sins and evil deeds, a moment when all the wickedness of ove’s en- tire life would come like a pano rama before him. I had suppused that it would be a very painful oper- ation to get the last few gasping breaths that I had so often seen gasped out at the bedside of the dying. I had even speculated upon the strange and wonderful sensation the spirit, or soul, or whatever it is that is immortal about man, would experience immediately after being “It's an interesting | scious. But assoonas I died my| mind returned to me. I was not) seared, nor did any train of unpleas , ant thoughts come to me. I did} | not think of the wrongs I had done) |nor of the good I hed done. I could] see them laying me out andI could | \feel the last breath I breathed. I) could distinctly see the heaving! bosom just as I thought I could. I | could see the members of my family | { around me, crying and wringing |their hands. I could see my own | | body and see them tying the bands | around my ankles and wrists. I could see myself being carried to the | {cooling board, but all the time it | seemed as if I was one of the spec-| tators, aud not really myself. | when I heard And| | send for the| | undertaker I immediately thought how awful the situation would be if the undertaker should came and en- balm my body. Thereseemed to be a change in my feelings and in my! About the time of this} change a large quantity of ice was brought in and placed about my! head and over my body. The ice} completed the work of my resurrec- tion. I had been dead for over two hours. The ice caused the circula- tion to resume and also caused the bursting of the abscess in my head. Then I was fully alive. I was in great pain, but I realized that I was alive, and was glad of it, too But there I lay, bound hand and foot, with ice all over me. I could not even soream.

I had _ been taught and raised to believe in old fashioned orthodox religion, and all of these thoughts naturally followed as the consequences of such whole- some teaching. But it is altogether different with me in my real and actual experience of being dead for afewhours. Yes, actually dead for over two hours. It was here in Kansas City, too, and I was doing my first newspaper work. It was one of the hottest August afternoons I ever saw. I was going on my regular assignment for the afternoon up East Fifteenth street, not far from McGee. Sud- denly I experienced a benumbing sensation in my head. I felt as if I could not move further. In a few minutes I saw that I could not walk and immediately turned into the fearest door, which, as it happened was the door of an undertaking es tablishment. I was well acquainted with the proprietors of the place and made some attempt at a witty jest tothe effect that I had brought them in a fresh cadaver. I passed on into the morgue and lay down on acot. That was the last thing I knew for several days. I was taken home by one of our staff in a hack. My nurse afterward told me that three physicians were called in be fore one was found that could tell what was the matter with me. The third one said Thad an abscess in my head, and so it afterward proved to be. my pulse got lower ¢ at last the nurse pronouneed me dead.
