TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Just take your choice. An attack of Fever,
with Quinine the treatment means a
week or ten days lost from Business,
H H-means.ten days of unhappiness for YOU
and ten days OF hard work and anxiety for
those who love you. If you are poor man,
your time IS worth much to your family
he rich man might better afford to- suffer
a ioss'of OF $4,000 day, as result from
enforced absence from business, than-the
poor man can lose the value of his labor
JOhnson's Tonic has two cardinal points that
should Immediately commend it to every
thinking man in this country
First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely
harmless. Harmless under all circum-
stances.
Second it is quick; it acts at once. In 30
minutes after it's administration, it enters
the blood and begins to undo the mischief
caused by Malaria. 1t is the.one great med
iclne that never disappoints. Now take
your choice. Lie in bed for days, maybe
weeks; and poison your digestion with Qui-
nine, and arise finally with all the life and
Vim taken out of you, or JOhnsons Tonic
and be restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force, No loss of flesh, No
waste of precious time. Take your choice.

he must enter a plea. Mr.. Quincy
persisted in his refusal. Then a fine
was imposed for contempt Of court.

tary of the embassy, who is at Lenox.
The department Immediately tele.
graphed the substance of this message
to the governor of Massachusetts,
with the suggestion that he do what.
ever might be necessary to secure the
diplomatic immunity of Mr.. Quincy.
1t is believed at the department that
the matter may be more serious than
the local officials at Lee seem to re-
gard it. BY constitutional and statu-
tory law the persons attached to an
embassy are expressly relieved from
any legal responsibility and the ex-
emption even extends to domestic ser
wants.
1t will remain for the governor of
Massachusetts to take initial action in
this case, which will require prompt
redress.
Durand Takes Ne Action.

British ambassador yesterday after
noon received a telegram from Lenox,
telling of the arrest of Mr.. Quincy and
stating that the matter had been re-
ferred to the state department.
The ambassador took no action in
the matter, nor does he expect thai it
will be necessary for him to do so.
He expressed confidence last night
that the state department will take
whatever action is proper. He expects
to leave washington to-day to return
to Lenox. as he had originally planned.
