A Claim to Human Gratitude.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, tender
hearted peasant girl Of Normany, made
great history by one desperate act!
Sckened by the saturnalia OF the French
revolution, and moved to desperation as
Robespierre and Marat were leading the
flower of France to the guillotiIle, she de-
termined that she would put an end to
Marats bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred thou
sand victims for the guillotine
He proposed to kill off the enemies OF the
Revolution to make 1t perpetual!
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fired the blood Of this patri-
otto peasant maid!
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by subterfuge, she found him IN
his bath, even then memorable and giving
written directions for further slaughter!
He asked her the names of the inimical
deputies who had taken refuge in Caen.
She told him, and he wrote them down.
"That is well! Before a week is over
they shall all be brought to the guillotine."
| At these words, Charlotte drew from her
bosom the knife, and plunged it with su-
pcrnatural force up to the hilt in the heart of
Marat.
"Come to me, my dear friend, come to
me-" cried Marat, and expired under the
blowl
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington is
| a famous paintingof Charlotte, represented
as behind the prison bars the day before
her execution.
1t is thrilling, sad picture, full of sorrow
for her suffering country, and of uDconquer-
able hate for her countrys enemies.
Whata lesson in this tragic story! Two
hundred, nay, five hundred thousand PEG
pie would Marat have sacrificed to his un.
holy passion of power!
Methods are quite as murderous and in
exorable as men, and they number Their
victims by the millions.
The page of history is full of murders by
authority and by mistaken ideas! In the
practice of medicine alone how many hun
dreds Of millions have been .allpYed-to die
and as many more killed by unjustitiabit
bigotry and by bungling
But the age is lettering. Men andaeth
DDS are improving. A few years agsNt was
worth ones professional life to advise or
permit the use of proprietary medicine
Today there are not two physicians in an.
town in this country who do not regular
ly prescribe some form of proprietary rem
