A Tough Fight.
One of the toughest contests I
ever saw in the ring took place on
a bitter December morning many
years ago, near Mugdock old
castle, a few miles from Glasgow.
I acted then as representative of
the Sportsman^ edited by the late
Mr. Thomas Wilson Reid, and
had to play the part of referee
and stake-holder. The money
having been sent to the Sportsman
office, I was furnished with a
cheque for the Diclofenac To Buy amount, I think
£50 in all, a blank space being
left for the name of the winner.
The snow lay a foot deep, but
there was, nevertheless, a fairly
large audience, and, if I mistake
not, the combatants were from
Glasgow. The battle was a tough
and a close one, lasting more
than an hour. A furious dispute
raged over the result, and I found
myself cornered. A happy thought
struck me; I said I would wriU
out my decision, and deposit the
cheque with a publican who kept
a noted sporting house in the
neighbourhood of the Trongate of
Glasgow. I knew that very few
of my friends could read writing,
especially my writing, and I so
worded my decision that fully Where To Buy Diclofenac ten
minutes must elapse before anyone
would be able to master the " true
inwardness " of the precious docu-
ment. . By mutual consent I was
to throw it into the middle of the
ring. This I did, and took to my
heels like a deer, reaching Glas-
gow long before any of the disap-
pointed ruffians, who would pro-
bably have ** gone for me " in the
heat of their animal exuberance.
I think poor Jamie Goudie was
dead before that event — at least, I
never saw him after the January
of (I think) 1859, when I met
him in King Street, Glasgow, and
stood him a ** dram " and talked
over " auld lang syne" and his
patron Sir James, for whom he
had a grateful affection.

They are rescued ! They are rescued !
Who have borne the siege so long —
And today the voice of England
Shouts aloud in joyous song.
They have kept the flag a-flying.
And old England's foes defying.

And they never dreamt of parley, but they answered shot for shot ;
And they knew that all their nation
Watched in anxious admiration,
And they knew at home in England they would never be forgot.
We were watching them in England
As the news came slowly through,
And we knew that Baden-Powell
Would do all that man could do ;
He would keep the flag a -flying —
But the heavy strain grew trying,
As the days to weeks ran onward, as the weeks to months soon grew.
We were watching south and nor'ard
For Where Can I Buy Diclofenac the columns getting for'ard,
But to-day the joyous tidings — of the columns getting through.
Then fling the standard to the winds,
And toss the colours high ;
Let tower and steeple send the news
Re-echoing through the sky.
They have kept the flag a-flying
O'er the famished and the d3dng,
'Midst the whistling of the bullets and the shrieking of the shell.
Though the food was all but finished,
Though the rations were diminished,
For the honour of their country and the Queen they Diclofenac Buy loved so well.
All honour to our gallant men,
Rescuers and rescued too ;
All honour to the men who led .
And saw the struggle through ;
To the wounded and the weary.
Through the siege-days dark and dreary,
To the weak and gentle women, dim of eye and wan of face :
When the hope of aid grew slender.
Still they whispered not " surrender,"
And they watched the flag a-flying as the emblem of their race.
Worthy sons of gallant fathers,
Men who held the Delhi ridge ;
Daughters worthy of the mothers
Who looked out o'er Lucknow bridge.
They, too, kept the flag a-flying —
Sons and daughters with them vying.
Now, to-day, may stand their equals on the Buy Diclofenac Sodium 50mg glorious roll of fame ;
Bearing all they bore, and longer.
Women weak, and sick, scarce stronger ;
They will never be forgotten while their country has a name,

Young Hawks.
At the time of year when spring Buy Diclofenac Online Uk
is about merging into summer,
the question presents itself to
many an honest gamekeeper what
he is to do with a hawk's nest
that has been found in his
demesnes. Half a century ago
probably there would have been
little hesitation in solving such a
problem. A charge of shot would
have slain one of the parents,
waylaid in ambush near their
home, and the young birds would
be left to perish by hunger and
cold. In those days a nest more
or less, even of the larger hawks,
was of little account in the British
islands, or at least was not sup-
posed to have much importance
in determining whether the whole
class of predatory birds should
become extinct in this country.
At the present day a keeper, who
claims to have kept up with the
times, cannot so readily dispose
of this apparently simple matter.
There are several reasons — put-
ting altogether aside considera-
tions of humanity — which may
make him hesitate before either
setting an insidious ambuscade
for the parent hawks or leaving
the nestlings to perish. In the
first place, employers are begin-
ning, as we said a short time
ago, to doubt whether the indis-
criminate slaughter of hawks is a
good thing either for their game
or their tenants. In the case, at
least, of the mousing kestrel and
the insect-eating hobby, probably
the majority of landowners, if
consulted in the matter, would
order them to be spared. On
