For twelve successive days the

 Force of Will.


 Chicago, May 6.-J. T. Toohey. an Aus tralian brewer, died today after a des- perate struggle with death, and he re- mained alive almost a week by sheer strength of his will 1t Is said. MT. Too hey was on his way from England to Australia He knew he would never reach his native land, but he had a son in San Francisco, and he was determined to live to see the boy.
 A year ago MT. Toohey realized that the end was near He was 67 years Of age and sick of consumption. He decid- ed to visit England and consult famous specialists. They told him there was no hope and warned him that he soon would die.
 He announced his intention of returning to Australia. The physicians told him it was foolhardy: that he would never survive the voyage across the Atlantic. MT. Toohey cabled his son. He told the boy to meet him at San Francisco and get there as quickly as possible, as it would be the las. time they would meet.
 The father and son started for the meeting place. All during the voyage the mans family thought he was dying. When New York was reached he was ad- vised to remain there. He said he would not; that he would meet his son in San Francisco. MT. and Mrs. Toohey and their three daughters reached Chicago Saturday morning The father wanted to proceed. but physicians would not allow 1t.
 T must get to San Francisco" he said. Early this morning he died A few min utes before a telegram arrived from San Francisco. It read: T beat you here. When will you arrive?"
 At g o'clock tonight the body started on the journey to Sydney. Australia.
