no farther. This factory repre-
sentative made mistake; his
dreams did not come true. It's the
manufacturer loss, your gain. To
be sure they are fine pianos of
good reliable make, handsome
styles and beautiful woods.
Money-Back Guarantee.
We have no hesitancy in giving
the Eilers moneyback guarantee
and exchange agreement with every
one of these pianos.
Come early and get the best Sc
Election. Prices start at $218, and
not a one of them is worth less
than 1915 or $400. They are really
beautiful pianos that will please the
most critical.
Take our word for it this is the
piano opportunity of the year with
out a doubt.
Save $3.50 to 5000.
Make a first payment of 8 per
cent, and we send the piano to your
home at once, the balance you may
pay a little each month. We have
taken these fine new pianos, worth
1915, $500, $3.50, $3.50 and 5000, and
cut the price right in two. We
haya also added to the lot some
splendid bargains in slightly used
and secondhand pianos.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Unable to
sleep because of the heat, Mrs.
Genevieve caldwell went out on
the stoop of her house in E. 122d
St, Manhattan, to await the return
of her husband. After waiting a
while she went back into the house
and was astonished to find the
lights burning and hear splashing
in the bath room. Thinking her
husband had come home quietly
and was playing joke on her, Mrs.
Caldwell opened the bath room
door.
"Help, Murder! Police! Bur
glar." Her screams aroused the
neighborhood. The man standing
in the tub before her bore no re-
semblance to the head of the Cauld-
well house. Mrs. caldwell ran to-
ward the street door and met Po-
liceman O'Flaherty. The supposed
burglar put on his clothes and hur-
ried around to the station house.
