His only wish,

Detroit Free Press,l
Some months ago a fond Detroit
father imagined that his only son, a
young man of twenty, was going
into consumption. A doctor was
consulted, and he advised that the
son be put through a course of
gymnastic training. The young
man seemed to like the idea, and
for two or three months he was in
daily attendance at a gymnasium.
Then he began to grow careless,
and finally quit it altogether. The
father thought he could see signs
of failing health again, and to in.
duce the son to 60 back to rings,
bars and gloves once more, he fitted
up private gynasium in the barn
and began a course of exercise HIM
self. The other morning he re-
membered that he used to be a
boxer in his younger days, and he
remarked that he'd give the son a
few lessons. He was balancing
himself on his heel and feeling out
with Doth hands, when something
hit him, and half a minute after
ward he dimly realized that some
one was bending over him and say
ing:
Father, dear father, are you
dead ?"
He sat up, looked around, and
hOarsely inquired:
"Jim, what on earth happened ?'
Why, father, l got in a love-
tap on your nasal-just a little
feeler, to see if You were solid on
your pins"
"Didn't you strike as hard as
you could ?"
"No-not half-not q quarter.
1t was what the boys call feeling
lot claret. Your nose Will spring
back into position in less than hall
a day."
The father got up, let the gloves
fall from his hands, and as he
caught the trapeze to steady his
legs, he said:
jim, your mother and l thought
you were going into consumption,
and DR.. -, he backed us up IN
it. That's why l sent you to learn
gymnastics. Jim, Pm a fool, your
mother is au awful good woman,
and if we can get the doctor up
here long enough to letyou feel for
his claret, | don't care how soon
die "

with the retreating Russian army
he wrote, off hand, the most bril-
liant war dispatch ever sent to any
newspaper.
EQUAL to RUSSELL OR THEIRS.
The readers of the Herald, to
whom this splendid dispatch was
given in full, will remember it as a
magnificent specimen of descriptive
writing, combining beauty of style
with a clear statement Of the mill
tary situation and the consequences
Of the defeat. The London critics
consider it better than the best
work Of the celebrated DIR. Russell,
of the Times, and quite equal to
Theirs most graphic battle pen
pictures. The Russian authorities
have paid Mr.. Forbes, and through
him the Daily News, the compli-
ment of using his dispatch as the
official account of the battle
throughout the empire.
