Israel Did Not Fight Till He Was Sure
of Victory.
When he was boy, Israel zangwill
the author and playwright, was the
same thin, long-haired specialized per-
son that he is today, only it then took
more courage to be eccentric in APP
pearance than it does now, says the
Saturday Post. Twenty-Five years ago
Mr.. Zangwill was a pupil in the Jew
ish Free school, Bell lane, Spitalfields,
London His singular face and still
odder manner led the older and larger
boys to make a butt of him. For the
first few months he was cuffed and
boxed, bullied and kicked by a number
of playful youths, but especially by the
bully of the school, broad-shouldered
noisy young ruffian. One day, after
school, Zangwill attracted not only
the attention of the school children
but of the neighborhood as well by
turning upon his prosecutor and reply
ing to him in kind. When the bully
recovered from his amazement he
threw off his coat and hat and made a
iuSh AOl IuO ldu. AduS Will Was ready
for him. He laid down his books and
doubled up his angular fists. Inside of
five minutes he had knocked down the
bully three times and two minutes later
he had him suing for pardon and beg
ging to be let up. From that day until
he went to college he was let severely
alone, and it was not until years after

known. During all the period of his
persecution Zangwill had been taking
boxing lessons privately of prizefght
er and he did not offer battle until he
was reasonably sure of the result.

According to legend, Jupiter sent to
Prometheus in honor of his deliverance
by Hercules a ring in which was set a
piece OF the stone to which Prometheus
had formerly been bound in chains.
IN northern mythology the ring SYM
Dolizes the bridge from this world to
the next, or, according to another idea,
the rainbow symbol of eternity. Hence
1t is plain that from most ancient
times the ring was a symbol OF remem-
brance and eternal recollection. Since
the earliest days OF Christianity the
ring has been a precious pledge of
raithfulness, the talisman of two Sc Ills
forming sacred life union. The Gus
tom of wearing the wedding ring on
the fourth finger of the left hand goes
back for its origin to the Egyptians.
from whom the Greeks borrowed the
custom and handed 1t on to the Rom
ans. The fourth finger was dedicated
to Apollo. the sun god. and gold was
an additional symbol of the sun. Be-
sides, 1t was believed that Apollo's
finger was connected by a nerve d.
rectly with the heart, and 1t was most
appropriate that the sign of the low
ing union should rest on this finger.

The family OF the late Gen. Symons,
killed in the Smith hill fight in South
Africa, was of old west country stock,
of Norman origin. In the fifteenth
century they were people of import
ance. HIATT, their estate, near Botus
Fleming, has been in their possession
since 1865. A strange but well-au-
thenticated story is told of Nicholas
Symons, great-great-uncl to the late
general. Nicholas left his native
county and settled at Liverpool. He
aeft his home in consequence of some
disagreement with his father, and. as
Stunning the 1ame of Sherwood, bore IL
for many years. Eventually he sue
ceeded to the family estate, and dying
without SON. the grandfather of the
Smith hill hero inherited HIATT. This
story is borne out by the fact that the
name Sherwood has been since his time
perpetuated In the family. Sir VIII
Liam's second name, Penn, came from
his grandmother, Agnes Penn, who
was descendant of the William Penn
OF American fame. The family of Sy-
mons is an honored one In the mining
county, and the news of the generals
death caused much sorrow in the coun-
tryside.

The Society for the Preservation OF

in Bucks, which is associated with
the memory of William Penn, has sold
some Penn relics to a secondhand
