THE STIRRING TALE OF HARRIERS BOLD.
BY SINBAD. When one on Monday morning reads of Harriers the stirring tale, and ponders idly on the deeds of men who run o’er hill and dale, one’s sympathetic spirit bleeds, for it would make the boldest pale. I have no doubt it gives a thrill to certain energetic men, to go careering up a hill and then go charging down again, or maybe plunge into a rill, emerging like a wet, wet hen. There is a type of man that likes to press o’er bogs and paddocks ploughed, or tear his pants on barbed wire spikes. Of mud and scratches, he is proud, and just in case a bull he strikes, his running garb is bright and loud. Yes! Hardships may some people thrill, that is a fact I must admit, for what would make one fellow ill, another can’t be forced to quit. This running may be fine, but still it makes me tired to think of it.
