Charlotte Corday, the sad faced, tender
hearted peasantgirl OF Normandy, made
great history by one desperate act
Sickcned by the saturnalia OF the French
revolution, and moved TO desperation rs
Robespierre and Marat were leading the
flower Of France to the guillotine, she deter
mined that she would put An end 10 Marats
bloody reign.
Mnrat had demaaded two hundred thou
sand victims for the guillotine!
He proposed to kill on the enemies OF the
Revolution TO make II perpetual.
Horrible thought
No wonder IL fired the blood Of this patri-

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 we'll Before q 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 super,
natural force up TO the hilt in the heart OF
Marat.
Come 30 me, my dear friend, come to
me-" cried Marat, and expired undcr the
blow.
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington is
famous painting of Charlotte represented
as behind the prison bars the day before
her execution.
1t is thrilling. sad picture, full Of sor-
row for her suffering country, and or un-
conQuera ole hate for her country's enemies.
WHAT a lesson in this tragic storyl Two
hundred, nay, five hundred thousand peo.
pie would Marat have sacrificed to his un-
holy passion of power.
Methods are quite as murderous and in
exorable IA men, and they number their
victims by the millions
The page of history is full of murders by
authority ana by mistaken ideas In the
practice of medicine alone how many hun
dreds of millions have been allowed TO die
and as many more killed by unjustifable
| Digotry and bungling!

the most valuable, among family records,

1 These simple old ashioned sarsaparilla,
! hops and buchu, cough and consumption
and other remedies have struck a popular
chord and are in extraordinary demand all
J over the land. They are not the ultried
aud imaginary remedies Of some dabster
chemist intent on making money, but the

the highest stand ri of excellence.
The preparations are of decided and
known influence over disease, and as in the
hands of our grlndmothcrs they raised up
the sick, cured the lame and bound up the
wounds of death, so in their new form
but oden power as Log Cabin remedies
they are sure to prove the healing of the
nations
Corday did the weird an incalculablC
service in Kidding France of the bigoteC
and murderous Marat. just as this man il
