cutter said. Somebody did. so he led

German, and Hebrew
Same thing in each one," he said
You can see for yourself what it saws
in English. A good citizen, a good
father, a good husband. and peace to
his soul. The relatives had that eulogy
printed in all three languages because
their friends are kind of mixed en-
tongues; some can read one thing and
some another. and he was too good a

of his virtues simply because they
couldn't read the language on this

were inscribed. in characters so small
that they could only he read with the
aid Of a powerful microscope, the SS6
Hebrew letters of the prayer, and the
date of the year CHebrew reckoning),
