A Business Founded on Downright
Falsehood and Baldfaced De-
ception Cannot Endure.

In November, you advertised a closing out
sale of bankrupt dealers stock of pianos
from Aberdeen, Wash. Eilers Music House
and the Emeneker Piano Co., are the only
regularly established piano dealers at Aber-
deem at the present time, or for very long
time back. We call on you to publish the
name of this so-called dealer.
Last month you advertised two for one
sale of pianos, and stated you were doing this
in conjunction with large Eastern factories
You published fac-similies of two letters, one
purporting to have been sent to you by the
r. s. Howard Piano company of New York,
and the other from the Hallet e Davis Pr
ano Company of Boston, supposedly endorsing
your plan and promising cooperation. We
have absolute and positive proof that both
these letters were typewriter by you in your
store and the signatures on both letters were
personally signed by YOU
You appeal to the good people of Tacoma
to patronize you because a taxpayer here
Eilers Music House and its officers pay more
taxes in Tacoma in one year than you will
in twenty. You state your store is owned by
Tacomans. Just what do you mean by this?
Surely you don't mean to infer that you own
the building for you have previously adver-
tised that you paid rent for it? Isn't your
stock owned by little, obscure, longtime
buying dealer down in Portland, so what do
you mean? Perhaps you meant to infer that
the sign over you door was owned in Taco
ma. Now, Mr.. Little Piano Man CD we want
no side-stepping or depression. We want
definite answers to the above questions and
accusations.
You owe it to u.s. and you owe it to the
public whom you attempted to hoodwink.
There is now opportunity for another of
your parozysms of ecs tatic glee which you
seem prone to give vent to, but to us 1t seems
serious business 1t surely is most 1amentable
that a firm which has reached the highest
pinnacle in its line should be subject to
thrusts in the dark and stabs in the back by
little, irresponsible commercial nondescript

If The Hair Root

Falling hair means scanty hair,
and scanty hair means badness.
The whole trouble is caused by
dandruff germs that destroy the

Why Is 1t Wrong to Kiss?

please tell me nice way to
entertain "a young man when
he calls? i want to know il
you see a young man, and
you like him, if it's any harm
to flirt with him? I mean at u

for boy to kiss you i'm a

what should you do? Would
you advise girl to go with
II fellow she does not care
much for? Are short coats
To be worn this summer?

A.-As your guest (not be-
cause he is a MANI you should
try to select topics that he is in

out. YOU are his guest, and he
should endeavor to show you q
good time. Some men like q
quiet game, others music, while
still others like to discuss the
latest ball game, or the newest
books.
1t is wrong to allow a boy to
kiss you in a dance hall, or any
place else until you are old
enough to know that a kiss is a
token of the greatest, divinest
thing in the world, and is made
cheap by promiscuous use. You
should ignore a boy who does It,
Until he apologies. If he never
does, let him go. Certainly a girl
may go with a man she does not
care particularly for-that is, one
she does not love. She should
not work man for theater
tickets, ETC., by encouraging him,
when she would not tolerate him
If 1t were not for what he buys
her, but she can have many
friends.
Short coats will be worn the
coming season.

A Partial Confession
By the Little Round
About Piano Dealer?
A Few More Hard Nuts
For Him To Crack.

The little selling on commission dealer ac-
knowledges that he has issued and accepted
many piano purchasing checks, but intimates
that he was unable to conduct the thing on
the square. Eilers Music House will not
stand for anything from its managers,
statesmen or other employees that is not
strictly honest; straig ht-from-the shoulder
and out In the open in the conduct of It's
business and this very probably explains In
large measure why the little embryo piano
man is no longer In its employ.

SEA SERPENT BELIEFS.
Not Too Late I'm the Season for Quot

'Nhpnn

Not Too Late I'm the Season for Quot
ing Scientist MaNim's Faith in
Them.
London-Sir Hiram Maxim is q
firm believer in the sea scrpen'. The
other day he gave out this interview:
Il think the time has arrived when
We must admit that there are GER
tain large animals living in the sea
that are not described in the works
on natural history. Messrs. c. a.
Nichols x Co., Springfield, Mass,
published in 1882 II very remarkable
work. In this find that in 1851, and
for some years following. the sea SER
pent or sea serpents appeared very
often off the New England coast.
1T appears that there were two
. kinds OF these monsters. on one oc-
casion the animal that was seen had
Il flshlike head, very large eyes, gills
and continuous fin extending the
whole length of its back, supported
by numerous spines, after the man
ner of a stickle-back. 1t was simply
very large fish of an unknown va
riety.
THE monster that was seen a great
number of times by numerous people
had a body from eighty to ninety feet
long, and about the diameter of a
large cask, with Il head closely re-
sembing that of snake.
Il quote the following from the
publication referred to:
From all this testimony there
seemed to be no doubt, reasonable or
plausible, of the existence of sea
serpent, of some so or 100 feet in
length, and of the size of large bar
rel or cask.
Indeed, so great was the sensa-
tion created by the movements Of
the monster, so repeatedly seen for
successive years by so many Witness
es, and described by them with such
general detail and general concur
renee that the Linnaean Society OF
Boston appointed Il committee of EN-
inent scientific gentlemen to collect
evidence on the subject, and they
drew up "A report, giving in detail the
dispositions of numerous witnesses
who saw the creature on shore or at
sea- some of them from a distance
of only ten yards.
According to these witnesses,
the monster was from eighty to nine
ty feet long his head usually carried
about two feet above the water; of
dark brown color, the body with
thirty or more proturbances, COM
pared by some to four-gallon kegs, by
others to a string of buoys, and call
ed by several persons punches on the
back; motion very rapid, faster than
that of a whale, swimming a mile in
three minutes, and sometimes more,
leaving a wake behind him; chasing
mackerel, herrings and other fish,
which were seen jumping out of the
water fifty at a time, as he approach
ed
''It has been suggested that this
creature is a mammal. If so, would
have warm blood, and would have to
breathe at least as often as whale,
but as it remains below the water for
days and weeks at time, 1t is safe
To says that it has cold blood, and Is
probably some kind of a snake

gested either their election or resig-

ton with the, company.
Mr.eSFav4fh. a Wall street banker,
