"My boy reads every chance he gets.
I have to drive him out to play. want
him to play base ball and basket ball
and foot ball. He seems to hate it all.
He can swim. but he won't unless we
make him. What can we do with him
to make him like other boys?"
Nothing. He will never be like any
body but himself, no matter how you
struggle to change him. Why try? The
boy is healthy. He eats we'll, sleeps
we'll, stands well in his classes. He Is
not a sportsman in the playground
games. Why need he be?
1t is true that most boys love games
But it Is also true that some boys do
not and that these poor lads are tor
tured by their classmates and families
because they do not go out for the
teams and win their quota of honors
They ought to be let alone and their
tastes respected.
The only concern one need feel about
the boys is IN regard to their health
If that is sound, the manner of their
recreation need not trouble us. Most
BOYS have to walk to and from school
four times a day. That is good exer-

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo pa,ri

what we want is another man who
thinks?
Some children are born with a love of
study. Take the necessary care of their
health and leave them to the enjoyment
of their books. Ttrew his way with
good books. When he expresses a desire
for certain line of reading, supply it
to him through the libraries. He may
shift from one interest to another, but
hold to his books. That need not mat
ter to you. Supply the books and let
him have peace.
1t may happen that when you ask the
boy what it was he read In the last book
he replies, II don't know" or Nothing
much.' That is usually so in the be-
ginning of things. He will have to read
and experience much before he can or
ganize his knowledge and express it.
Fills reservoir of thought must spill over
before he can tell you anything about
it. Don't pry too much.
Suppose the reading child is reading
only to escape the world that pressed
too closely upon him. Suppose he is
reading to send his mind to sleep.
What then?
Test and examine such a child. His
condition is clearly marked. A good
psychologist or child specialist will know
at once and indicate course of help
full treatment. But give the student
child a chance to read his books in
peace and cease tormenting him about
winning the hundred-yard dash.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

September 26, 1S59.-Much attention
was attracted this morning by the proc
ess of moving one of the colossal gran
lite columns of the Treasury extension
from the Western wharves, where it had
been landed. Placed upon strong car
riage, six yoke of heavy oxen and two
span of powerful horses were attached
and with these it was moved by means
of blocks and cables to the top Of the
hill or rise from the wharf. The size
and beauty of the animals did not ex-
cite more admiration than the docility
and intelligence with which they work.
ed together to move the immense load.
The attention Of the Washington po-
lice was today called to the careless
manner in which some persons dis
charge firearms on the washington
side of the river shore. Frequently per-
sons in boats have narrowly escaped be-
ing wounded, or even killed, by this
promiscuous shooting. Only two days
ago, little before DUSK. the club boat
Undins, with several ladies aboard. was
passing into the city canal from the
river, when a careless fellow on the
shore deliberately fired his gun toward
the river-with the boat and those in II
in full sight--the ball passing within
couple of feet of one Of the ladies and
striking the water close by.
The Mount Vernon has reached the
Western wharves and this morning is
discharging her freight. She brought
several passengers from New York for
this city and Alexandria.
Washingtonians, especially those with
relatives or friends who have gone to
hunt gold at Pixies Peak, were much
interested today in the latest advices
from that point, which state that the
proposition for organizing State gov
eminent has been defeated. The mines
are reported to be yielding abundantly
and considerable gold. dust has reached
Leavenworth, Kans. A vigilance COM
mittee has been organized in the min
ing region to protect property.
Col. Rankin, register of the Govern
ment land Office at Olympia, in Wash
ington Territory, has just arrived In
this city frcm the island OF San Juan,
which lies at the northern end OF Puget
Sound, opposite Vancouver Island. He
reported that If the intentions Of Gov.
Douglass. who represents the interests
of the British Hudson Bay Co., had
been carried out. there would have been
a collision between the American and
British forces as Douglass had given
orders to the vessels Satellite and
Plumper to fire, but Admiral Bayne OPP
portune1y arrived and superseded him
In command of the English warships.
The trouble has arisen over the owner
ship of San Juan Island, which has been
occupied by Americans for more than
Is months American troops have been
sent there to prevent British agrees
sion and give protection against the
Indians.
