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. .

IO7 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.

Women weak, and sick, scarce stronger ; They will never be forgotten while their country has a name, Harry L. T08 [August 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.
