when France was slaughter house.
The French Revolution was at its
height. After throwing of the cruel
bondage of royalty under which they
had groaned for centuries. the French
people beheaded their old tyrants, the
aristocrats. Then. the thirst for
blood being still unslaked, they fell
to beheading each other. The Reign
of Terror" set in.
And the heart and soul of the Reign
of Terror was Marat. He was Swiss
by birth and had at various times
been a scientist, a literary man.
physician and-so says Carlyle-a
horse doctor. When the revolution be-
gan he started a paper called 1.-The
Friend of the People" It was prob
hbly the most scurrilous, bloodthirsty
sheet ever published.
The revolution at that time had
not wholly thrown sanity aside.
Marat's arrest was ordered. He es-
capped and fed to the lowest Sums
There, hiding in the sewers and Gel
lars, he spent his time making friends
with the vile outcasts of the Paris un-
ferworld and in preaching to them his
doctrine of wholesale murder. From
Anne to time, as the revolution waxed
cnorc fierce, he would emerge from
hiding with new plans for deeds OF
violence. Each time the saner leaders
denounced him. But, soon or late,
they followed his advice. ind Thus
the revolution grew daily into the
Reign Of Terror.
At last it became safe for Marat to
come wholly out Of seclusion and to
proclaim aloud, by voice and by his
newspaper, his ideas for the death Of
his fellowmen. The revolutionary
leaders feared and hated him. They
held him in contempt for his squalid
Nth and his shrieking clamor for

Very Fue8v Person.

A little girl, about 9 years of age,
was obliged for some time to endure
the nagging annoyances Of a maiden
aunt. The child puzzled her little mind
as to the best means of getting rid of
her tormentor, and at last hit upon a
plan which, she thought, would have
the desired result. She spent the
whole Of one morning writing a let
ter, and, having finished it, she disap-
peared in the garden. In the course
Of the afternoon her mother asked the
gardener what Alice had been doing,
and was surprised to learn that she
had dug deep hole and put a letter
in it. A search was made and tho fol-
lowing epistle was discovered, ad-
dressed to the potentate Of the neither
regions at his Official residences: Dear
Mr.. Satan: Win you kindly come and
take away Aunt Jane? She is a verv
fussy person, and does worry me 40.

Editor Courier: If you please may !
say q few words in favor OF our re-
publican candidates.
1t seems to me that all true blue re-
publicans' ought to support at least
|our representiye candidates, II not
all our local candidates. The time
has never been in Iowa, when SO much
depended on an election, at least that
Il know Of, as this election. could
give many reasons. but will only say
that II we fail to elect our representa-
|tiyes. the republicans will themselves
be to blame for it. And II we fail, all
that don't vote for them, simply help
to nut Dan Hamilton in the United
states senate and vote Senator Ken
Won out. All voters ought to know that
this would be the result. If the demo
Gratis had the majority. We never had
q man in the United States senate that
gave us a better record than has w.
s. KENYON, He has been tried and has
been found not wanting. He Is clean
and conscientious. And he did more
to nut Lorimer out OF the senate than
anyone else in the United States. He
is broad minded and his very counter
ance proves him one Of our most
capable men. Surely If any republican
is In the least responsible for him
leaving the senate, he Will regret 1t as
well as thousands OF others.
Now Mr.. Shane and Mr.. Epps were
fairly nominated as our candidates at
the primary, and why should q repub-
Hcan turn them down? Surely Shane
made a splendid record. He is q
gentleman, and is courteous and po-
lite in his dealings with his fellownen.

And to be well acquainted with him is
to be charmed with his personality
And II not returned, this county has
lost its splendid representative and

much poorer for not electing q strong
noble character to represent us In the
legislature. And II elected he knows
he is the servant Of the people and will
do all the good he can for just laws for
the whole people, regardless OF any

be his boss and not he the peoples
boss.
He has great influence with other
members in the house, and when he
has anything to say it seems to come
from the deep recesses Of the heart
and his moral conscience. And he is
SO fair in all he proposes that others
seem ready to adopt ibis measures
And II he is returned. the great ma.
jority OF citizens will be pleased to
claim him as our Frank.
