SLEEPS FOR
THREE DAYS
I
For once In hla life John Hnll, n
lumberman, confesses to feeling real
rested. He ought to, for be recently
woke from n Rip Van Winkle sleep of
three days and nights, brought about
by taking a mysterious drug he bought
from a peddler.
Hall Is one of those men who always
feel tired. He Isn't lazy, for he has
to do much heavy work, but he never
can seem to get slOep enough. lie
needs more than the average man and
frequently spends his Sundays curled
up on his cot, rising only to eat. lie
happened to mention this fact to a ped
dler at the Farran camp, where he Is
employed, and Avas sold some white
powders the peddler said he had bought
from an East Indian.
Hall was told that, while the pow
ders were harmless, the.v would make
him sleep souudly and that when he
awoke he would feel as chipper as a
lark.
A couple of days after luaklug the
purchase the lumberman was sent
some miles from camp to mark out
timber, and along in the afternoou he
felt so tired ho concluded to try one
of the powders. The stuff had a bit
ter taste, and while Hall was wishing
he had some water with which to
rinse out his mouth he fell asleep sit
ting up, with his back resting on a log.
That was the last he knew until he
was aroused three days later by some
of his comrades.
The absence of Hall became known
the night he took the drug, but no
alarm was felt until the following day,
when a couple of men were sent to
look him up. They met with no suc
cess, and next morniug half tho camp
went into the woods. The searchers
shouted until they were hoarse and re
peatedly tired guns, but got no re
sponse. and that night Hfill was prac
tically given up for dead.

NEW ZEALAND MAGIC.
A Native Story of the Power of the
Tohunga.
From New Zealand comes the follow
ing weird yarn:
"The tohunga (native magician) was
even credited with the power of In
fluencing the (lead. The present writer
wus a witness of the following Inci
dent: A branch of the Arawas, the
tribe of the district of Itotorua, being
at war, had suffered defeat, and one
of their braves had been brought home
dead. The vanquished sought at once
to tiud out by some omen connected
with the dead chief whether they
would be successful In their uext en
counter. The tohunga was requested
!o procure the desired omen, the peo
plo squatting in a ring about the bier
Advancing a few paces from the dead
Irody, the priest began to recite a
powerful incantation, Intent on mak
ing the deceased kIvo some sign, the
ejy* of all present being fixed on the
si* II* warrior. Preseutly the corpse
wys observed to move slightly to one
sire, on which a great cry of Joy rose
t/om the people. The movement was
interpreted as a sign of future victory.
This feat was often performed by the
tohunga of olden times." ? Chicago
