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 gnillotine, she
determined 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 10 make it perpetual
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fired the blood of this
patriotic peasant maid
Gaining access to his closely guarded
quarters by asubterfuge, 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 snail be brought to the guillotine.'
At these words, Charlotte drew from
her bosom the knife. and plunged it with
supernatural force up TO the hilt in the
heart of Marat.
Come to me, my dear friend, come to
CTlCu uut CApilCu thS
blow!
In the Corcoran gallery at Washington
is o famous painting of Charlotte, repre-
sented 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 I'M
conquerable hate for her country's enc
mics.
What lesson in this tragic story! Two
hundred, nay five hundred thousand PEG.
pie would Marat have sacrificed to his I'M
holy passion of power!
Methods are quite as murderous and
memorable as men, and they number their
victims by the millions.
The page of history is full of murders
by authority and by mistaken ideasl In
the practice of medicine alone how many
hundreds of millions have been allowed
to die and as many more killed by I'M
justitiable bigotry and by bungling!
But the age is lettering. Men and
methods are improving A few years ago
it was worth ones professional life to ad-
wise or permit the use of proprietary
medicine. To-day there are not two ply
siCians in any town in this country who
do not regularly pres cribe some form OF
proprietary remedy!
