all clapped our hands and the
seals seemed to enjoy it. On
our way back we entered a little

on the tops OF the mountains.
In the Rocky mountains, the
Devils slide and DEVILS gate are
places of interest to the tourist.
Devils slide is two long ridges OF
rock, looking from the car to be
about six feet high running par
allel to each other and extending
clear from the summit of the
mountain to it's base, they are
SO perfectly even as to look like
a piece OF masonry.
The Rocky mountains the m
selves are wonderful. | always

rocks but in reality there is not

huge boulders, / could see but
very little soil. Witch rocks al

could see almost any thing he
looked for in them.
Passing ons to Oakland, the
one feature TO be remembered
there is the crossing of the bay
from Oakland to San Francisco
on the largest ferry boat in the
world. The train and all was
taken onto the boat and safely
landed on the Frisco side, then
the journey south began. The
road from Frisco down to Los
Angeles is called the coast line.
TIE ocean is in sight for a great
er part of the way but the scene
on the road from Sacramento
down, in my opinion is much
pfettier than the coast line. As
we passed along the coast the
Sdnta Barbara Islands could be
seen in the distance but not very
distinctly. Los Angeles was
reached at last after having
Travelled about five days. 1t is a
city about six miles wide and
ten long. The fine buildings in
the business part of the city and
the trees and lovely homes in the
residence part of the city and the
delightful climate at all times
and places, make it an ideal
place to pass a summertyacation

BETTING AND DUELLlNO.

PRESIDENT HADLEY DRAWS A PARAL-
 LEL BETWEEN THEM.-THE SEPTEM-
 BIER CENTURY.
 It is customary to treat this habit of betting as if it were nothing but a manifestation of the gambling spirit the spirit which enjoys the excitement connected with risk of any kind, and which takes pecuniary risks on current eN, events for the sale of such endowment. This accounts for part of the practice, but not for the whole. If betting on sports had been nothing more than an indulgence of the propensity to gamble, it would probably have been restricted long ago. But it has another function, and very important one. It can be used as means of checking irreSponSi- ble talk. The propensity of some people to brag and buster makes them at times public nuisance. The men in our colleges, especially the younger to this rule. Under these circum- stances, the demand that the blusterer shall back his words by wager of money becomes means of protection to those about him against the un- pleasant. talk which is otherwise din- ned into their ears.
 In this respect the practice of bet ting has afunction not unlike that which was exercised by the practice of duelling century or two ago. In generations past the blusterer was con- pelled to make good his words by the wager of his life. We have become quieter in our temper at the beginning of the 20th century, and only demand that he shall wager his money. But the principle is the same in the two cases.
 This can be used, to some extent as theoretical justitica tion for the prac- tice of betting. It is. however, far more defensible as theoretical view than as practical argument, for in actual life betting fails to accomplish it's object. In this respect also the paral- Tel between betting and duelling holds good. The duel checked irresponsible language on the part of those who could not fight; but to those who were ready to take their lives in their hands it offered an indemnity instead of a re- straint. In like manner, the public tolerance of betting allows those who have money to wager to give them selves free indulgence in boasting. In betting, as in duelling. the whole community suffers under the evils of the practice, without realizing much of the theoretically possible good.
