A PRIZE-WINNING LETTER
A Fathers Terrible Confession ane
His Remorse.

A Fathers Terrible Confession and
His Remorse.
The American Magazine has been
offering prizes for the best letters en-
titled, 1.-The Meanest Thing l Ever
Did" In the June issue the prize
winning letters are published. The
first prize was awarded to the follow
ing letter-a fathers terrible confess
sion:
"A great, strong Swedish farmer
told it to me-this story Of the mean
est thing-told it to me with tears
and sobbing, after a lapse Of eighteen
years.
"'You know my son Christian" he
began. 1T happened when Christian
was ten years old, and Peter was only
eight.
Every night all summer long,
Christian and Peter had brought the
cow from the pasture and had kept her
out of the lucern lots where the fence
was down along the way.
"'On the 5th Of October the school
teacher took them to the hills to
gather flowers and autumn leaves.
They came home after dark, tired out,
and finding no one at home, crept up
stairs and went to bed. They were
sleeping soundly when their mother
came few minutes later, and she had
not the heart to ask them to go for the
cow.
"T helped Rasmussen dig the last
ten feet Of his we'll that day, and
when we had finished he invited me
to supper. After that we sat for a
long while enjoying our pipes and
stories, so it was II o'clock when l
got home.
when l came to the kitchen I
saw that the milk had not been set In
the window to cool. Then / was
angry. took the pail and went out
to milk. The cow was not in the
barn. Now. was furious.
Il took up a loose halter strap that
hung over the stall and rushed up to
the boys bed room, muttering and
banging doors as 1 went. My wife in
her night dress, stepped before me at
the head Of the stairs and tried to ex-
plain. 1 pushed her aside and bade
her hold her tongue. am ashamed to
tell it, how l, great big brute Of a
man, stood over those two crying,
pleading, trembling, writhing, helpless
little boys, my own flesh and blood,
and whipped them lash upon lash.
"'When I paused for breath Peter
sobbed, Father, what is it for?'
""What is it for? I repeated saw
agely, Come, will show you what it
is for!"
"I dragged them from their bed by
the arms, one in each of my monster
hands, down the stairs, out into the
night and a mile away, down to the
pasture bars.
1.-The COW stood at the bars, and
when 1 had let her out the two little
fellows freed their hands from mine
and drove her home.
"Tn the morning Peter did not get
up. I had relented by this time and
ordered that he was not to be awak
ened till noon. At noon he was in a
burning fever and talked deliriously
about the cow. DR.. Davis came and
said it was pneumonia. A week later
we laid him away.
"'Christian did not get whipped any
more and he has forgiven me years
ago; but l would give my life and all
that possess to know that at the last
could clasp little Peter in my arms
and know that he forgives, me too"

side TO side and ball dropped into it,
would it come to state of rest?"
Next morning a student was called
up on this philosophical problem.
What answer do you give this
question:" asked the professor.
Well really" said he, Il have not
thought of the main question, but a
preliminary one. How are you going
to get that hole through"
