A clalm TO Human Gratitude.

Charlotte Corday, the sad faced, tender.
hearted peasant girl Of Normandy, made
great history by one desperate act!
Sickened by the saturnalie Of the
French revolution, and moved to des-
peration rs Robespierre and Marat were
leading the flower Of France to the
guillotine, she determined that she
would put an end to Marat's bloody
reign.
Marat had demanded two hundred
thousand victims for the Ruillotine!
He proposed to kill of the enemies Of
the Revolution to mako 1t perpetual
Horrible thought!
No wonder it fired the blood of this
patriotic peasant maid
Gaining access to his closely. guarded
quarters by subtertuge. she found
him in his bath, oven then jnexorible
and giving written directions for f.lrtflsr
slaughter
He asked her the names of tho inimi-
cal deputies who had taken refuge in
Caen. She told him, and he wrote them
is over they shall all be brought to the
guiIlotine."
At these words, Charlotte drew from
her bosom the knlfo, AMI plunged 1t
with supernatural force up to the hilt In
tho heart of Nfarat.
"Come to mo, my dear fl ,.come TO
NO." cried Marat, and OK ed under
the blow!
III the Corcoran gallery at Washing
ton Is the famous painting of Charlotte,
represented as behind the prison bars
tho day before her execution.
1t is a thrilling, sad picture. full of
sorrow for her suffering country, and of
uncomfortable hate for her country's
Fenemies.
What a lesson in. this tragic story
Two hundred, nay fiyc hundred thou
sand people would Marat have sacrificed
to his unholy passion of power!
Methods are quito as murderous and
inexorable as men, and they number
their victims by the millions.
Tho page of history is full Of murders
In the practice OF medicine alone how
many hundreds OF millions have been
allowed to die and as many IRE killed
by unjustiiable bigotry an. by bung'
ling!
But tho age is bettering. Mon and
methods are improving. A few years
ago it was worth ones professional lift
to adyiso or permit the use of a proprie
tory medicine. Today there are no
two physicians in any town IN thi.
country who do not regularly prescribe
