A Claim TO Human Gratitude.

Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced. tender
hearted peasant girl Of Ncrmany, made
great history by one desperate actl
Sckenod BY tho saturnalia of the French
revolution, and moved 10 desperation as
Robespierre and Marat wero leading the
flower cf France 10 the guillotine, she de-
termined that she would put an end TO
Maraps bloody reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred thou
sand victims for the Ruillotinel
He proposed 10 kill OF the enemies Of the
Revolution 20 make II perpetual
Horrible thought
No wonder IL fired the blood Of this patrl.

Gaining access TO his closely guarded
quarters by a subterfuge, she found him in
his bath, even then inexorable and giving
written directions for further slaughteri
Ho asked her the names Of the inimical
deputies who had taken refuge in Caen.
She told him, aud he wrote them down.
"That Is WE'LL Before a week Ia over
they shall all bo brought 10 the guiliotinen
At these words, Charlotte drew from her
bosom tho knife, and plunged IL with SUI
pernatural 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
famous painting Of Charlotte, represented
as behind the prison bars the day before
her execution.
II Is thrilling, sad picture, full OF sorrow
for her suffering country,a and OF unconquer-
able hate for her country's enemies.
Whata lesson in this tragic storyl Two
hundred, nay, five hundred thousand peo-
pie would Marat have sacrificed to his un-
holy passion OF powerl
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 allowed 10 die
and as many more killed by unjustihable
bigotry and by bungling
But the age is betteriug. Men and meth
DDS arc improving. A few years ago IL was
worth ones professional life to advise or
permit tho use OF proprietary medicine.
To-day there are not two physicians in any
town in this country who do not regular

are not tho untried and imaginary remedies
of some dabster chemist intent on making

healing art which for generations kept our
ancestors In perfect health, put forth for the
good Of humanity by one who is known all

hands Of our grandmothers they raised up

Corday did the world an incalculable serv-
ice in ridding France OF the blgotcd and
murderous Marat, just as this man is doing
humanity a service by re-introducing 20 the
world the simpler and better methods OF
our ancestors.
