for several weeks, and thcro attracted
the attention of President Dole, of tho
Hawaiian republic.
Tho doctor desired to visit Molokal,
tho famous Island to which lepers aro
exiled by tho national board of health
of tho Hnwallnn republic. No ono ex
cept tho officers of tho national board
Is permitted to land at Molokal, and
evon tho officers aro guided by strict
regulations as to whore they go and
what they do In tho leper colony. Pres

Its hideous menace, to Honolulu with

vine worship In the leper colony, and
Is a pathetic flguro among tho con
demned, Into whoso limping ranks the
dread disease will soon push her, for
nono that llvo at Molokal over escape.
It is, In fact, an unwritten law of
the Samoans that a bride shall share
tho fato of tho husband If ho contracts
leprosy that sho shall go with him to
tho lepor colony and there, without
hope, await tho approach of this hor
rible, lingering death. Tho young
bride, with tho pathos of despair on
ber couutcnancc, looking sadly but re
signedly upon tho miserable men and
women about her, was noticed by the
Rev. Dr. Anderson standing at tho edge
of the strange congregation to which he
preached.
"Tho Island of Molokal," said Rev.
Dr. Anderson, In relating his exper
iences thero to a Sunday World corre

four wide. Its name means land of
precipices. Thero Is but one landing

"Tho territory occupied by tho lepers

A fow of them have been there for

thcro Is absolutely no hope for them

And ns this sub

dreams in my own
txperlcnco to which posBlbly somo ono
an give a clearer interpretation than I.
Having been taken very HI In Win
er, nnd ns this was my second attack,
til my friends nnd associate physicians
mid I was nt death'n door and it was
tot possible for mo to recover. It
neant but a few hours, or days at the
nost I was unconscious at times.
But through It all tho Idea was firmly
footed In my mind that "thcro Is moro
'Ife for mo, and I cannot, I will not go."
Thero followed four dayB of com
plete darkness, and when a little nat
lral sleep camo It was accompanied
;ach night for three weeks by a dream
jf my encounter with somo vicious
inlmnl beginning with a bull, then'n
boar, and next a largo mastiff. ThlB
rder nover varied. When the bull
:ame toward me I easily and quickly
raultcd tho fence ns he pinned It bc
ow me. In my encounter with tho
soar I grabbed him by tho throat and
:hrew him on his back, thus getting
wfely away. (Next morning the bleeps
ind supinators of my arm were so soro
.hat they had to bo rubbed.) Next tho
liastlff approached. I quickly grasped
aim by the larnyx till I could get hold
)f his tongue. This grip seemed to
tffect tho muscles of my wrist and
land nlone, which wero Just ns soro
ind stiff as formerly.
After tho expiration of three weeks
( hnd no dreams whatever for n few
nights. When they returned I became
moro and moio worried, until, after
the last ono, something said to mo:
mftao ovtao vbtao vbtn vbtn vabgaowy
'This is good, not ovll; you arc surely
a conqueror." However, not much
physical Improvement was visible.
In tho next dream I saw a bluo and
white light growing Into a crown, In
which tho word "Powor" In bright let
ters was Inclosed. This seemed to give
mo hope, also strength and courage,
and I felt somewhat better.
Three nights later I dreamed of bolng
on the lake of Galilee, In the boat with
Christ and his disciples; and such a
plcturo ns lay before me Is hard to de
scribe. The disciples seemed agitated,
tho sea was rough and tho boat frail;
yet I was calm. Tho disciples looked at
mc, then at the Bleeping Christ, but did
not speak. I was half reclining, but
why so calm I know not. Presently
tho spokesman of the group nroso and
whispered to tho rest, nnd as thoy got
up ho touched Christ and said: "Mas
ter, carest Thou not that wo perish?"
Christ's face as Ho aroso and rebuked
them wore an expression of mingled
gentleness, sternness nnd pity. I was
thrilled as Ho held out His hand with
a graceful movement and said: "Peace;
bo Btlll." Then camo a remarkable
calm a beautiful sunset on a sea of
glass.
I awoke feeling much better nnd
with strong hope. My Improvement
was very noticeable from this time for
ward. Then camo n lull, which was fol
lowed by dreams of a different char
acter for another period of thrco
weeks. I heard glorious music by n
full-voiced choir, commencing regular
ly at sunset and continuing until I was
Bcothcd to sleep. I folt moro vigorous
after thlB experience. Then for the
next three weeks I saw only a beauti
ful bluo and white light, Just as I foil
asleep.
As I went nbout, obliged to mlnglo

Itself. Then began, lasting for three
weeks, a Berles of wonderful textB and
sayings, which were given to mo by
a voico sufficiently audible to arouse
me In tho morning. Thoy would fre
quently ring In my ears all day. They
seemed to give mo power over myself
and others. Then I began to get mes
sages and Impressions from friends at
i distance.
Lastly, approaching my offlco ono
morning after leaving tho car, I
seemed overwhelmed by a condition in
which I was very happy and uncon
scious of my surroundings. When I
reached tho offlco I folt a dcslro to bo
alone for a fow minutes. I Bat down
and my eyes closed, when I saw a beau
tiful largo star, and whllo I was look
ing at It a voice said audibly seven
times: "Let the light of llfo shlno
forth In you."
Next morning tho samo condition
came at precisely the same place and
lasted until the offlco was reached.
This tlmo I saw a beautiful moon and
heard a voice speak tho words soven
times: "This light of life, so frco, Ib
yours." Tho moon disappeared, as the
star had dono, after tho seventh tlmo.
I felt very sleepy nnd dozed for about
three minutes.
It would seem that In theso occur

CHARACTER AND HYPNOTISM.
An
Individual' Strength li Tower
Agnlimt All Control.
There would bo llttlo Indeed In hypno
tism and the scientific world might
rightly Ignore Its importance nB a sub
ject of Investigation if It wero proved
to have nothing moro In It thnn tho
domlnanco of one will over another or
tho power of so-called "suggestion" to
control human minds, BayB Harper's
Bazar. But as with any other subject
worth Investigating, much moro Is re
vealed to tho student of hypnotism than
that which ho at first sets out to dis
cover. No sooner, for Instance, has
ho established beyond question proofs
of the power of mind over mind and
of "suggestion" In control than ho Is
forced to recognize how llttlo potency
lies In cither when compared to that
great power of resistance to them
which is generated by nn Individual's
own strength of character. No hyp
notism In the world, ns a great au
thority has shown, can mnko a really
temperate person when under hypnotlo
control, simulate or yield to drunken
ness; nor can a truly modest person bo
Induced to do that which would, in
waking hours, savor of Immodesty.
The man with true dignity of soul
keeps his dignity intnet, and ono of real
kindness of nature shows no glimmer
of harsh feeling. And thus, as can
readily be seen, one moro proof from
an unexpected source has been added
to thoso already in our possession go
ing to show tho vnluo anil power of
character, of that which a man In
herently and Intrinsically Is, rather
than that which he appears to be. It
makes out, too, oven n harder case
against Adam, who need never have
yielded to Eve but for a weakness In
himself.
DRINK WATER PLENTIFULLY,
For Ncrtoim Illneuitex It Ik Especially
lood.
The general tendency of people is not
to drink wntcr enough, says an ex
change. Pure water Itself cannot bo
unwholesome, unless It Is taken nt too
low a temperature, when food Is eaten.
Tho renson for this Ib that digestion
stops until the cold water in the sys
tem Is brought up to tho proper tem
perature. In the Chautauquan tho fol
lowing advice Is given: "Wo havo
proof that an Insufficient quantity
of drinking wnter Is a frequent
source of disease. George Henry
Fox, M. D., professor of diseases
of the skin In the New York Collcgo of
Physicians nnd Surgeons, says in a
recent article on this subject: 'It Ib
quite certain that few people drink too
much water and I feel sure that many
unpleasant feelings and symptoms of
actual disease would quickly disappear
if the sufferers appreciated tho valuo of
this best and cheapest of nil remedies
(pure water).' Dr. Charles L. Dana,
professor of nervous diseases In tho
New York Post-Graduato Medical
school, In an article on diet In nervous
diseases, says: 'Water should bo drunk
between meals or beforo meals and a
moderate nmount at meals. At least
three pints or about six tumblerfuls,
should bo taken dally. American neu
rotics do not drink water enough.
They have half dcsslcnted nerves and
desslcatlon increases nervous lrrlta
blllty.' "
