When Herman Unger, q commercial
traveller down Boston way, concluded
to depart this life he desired some
disposition Of his body which would
preclude resurrection. Accordingly he
decreed that his corpse be cremated
and that the ashes be mixed with suf-
ficient cement to form a solid rock.
Upon his demise recently his rela-
tives carried out his wishes Mixing
FIVE parts cement with one part ashes,
they did the good Herman into a
brick. Pressed into the face thereof
are these words: Herman Unger.
Leave me IN peace" But we believe
that such brick as Herman cannot,
and should not, be left in peace to es-
cape resurrection, says the st. Louis
Republic. Herman should fit nicely
into the golden and jasper streets Of
the happy future. If the road to he'll
Il paved with good intentions, why
not pave the road to heaven with
