Acclaim to Human Gratitude.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, tender
hearted peasant-girl of Normandy, made
great history by one desperate act
Sickened by the saturnalia OF the French
revolution, and moved to desperation as
Robespierre and Marat were leading the
flower of France to the guillotine, she deter
mined that she would put an end TO Marat' 8
bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred thou
sand victims for the guillotine!
He proposed to kill off the enemies Of tho
Revolution TO make IL perpetual.
Horrible thought
No wonder it fired the blood of this patri-
otto peasant maid
/ Gaining access TO his closely guarded quar-
| tiers 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 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 to me, my Gear friend, come to
me" cried Marat, and expired under the
! blow.
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington is
famous pafntingof Charlotte, represented
AS behind the prison bars the day before
her execution.
1t is a thrilling, sad picture, full Of sor-
row for her suffering country, and Of un-
conquerablc hate for her country's enemies.
What lesson in this tragic story Two
hundred, nay, five hundred Thousand peo.
pie would Marat have sacrificed to mis- un'
| holy passion OF power.
| Methods are quite as murdcrous and in
exorable as men, and they Number their
victims by the millions.

and as many more killed by unlustifable
bigotry and bungling!
But the age ia lettering. Men and meth
DDS are improving. A few years ago it was
worth ones professional life to advise or
permit the use of proprietary medicine
| To-day there are not two physicians in any

prescribe some form Of proprietary remedy
II. II. Warner, famed all over the world
as the discoverer of Warmers safe cure
began hunting up the old remedies of the
Log Cabin days; after long and patient re-
search he succeeded in securing some OF
the most valuable. among family records,
and called them Warmers Log Cabin rene
dies-the simple preparations of roots
leaves, balsams and herbs which were the
successful stand-bys of eur grandmothers

hops and buchu, cough and consumption
and other remedies have struck popular
chord and are in extraordinary demand al
over the land. They are not the untried
and imaginary remedies of some dabster
chemist intent on making money, but the
long sought principles OF the healing art
which for generations kept our ancestors
in perfect health, put forth for the good OF
humanity by one who is known all over the
world as philanthropist-a lover of his
fellow man,-whose name is guarantee oil
the highest standard of excellence.
The preparations are of decided and
known influence over disease, and as in the
hands of our grandmothers they raised up
the sick, cured the lame and bound up the
wounds of death, so in their new form
but olden power as Log Cabin remedies
they are sure to prove the 'healing of the
nations"
Corday did the world an incalculablt
service in Kidding France of the bigoteC
and murderous Marat, just as this man il
doing humanity service by re-introducinl
TO the world the simpler and better methods
of our ancestors.
