A SQUARE DEAL.
All Advertisers Are Treated
Alike.

The COURIER has but ore rate
to all advertisers and treats all
advertisers in the same manner
and squarely. 1t frequently
comes to US that we lose business
because the other papers make
concessions with respect 70 their
rates. We urge you not to be
misled by newspapers which are
granting you concession In
that kind of a newspaper you
never know when you have
reached the bottom. You may
think YOU are favor, d, but your
neighbor is probably nearer the
bottom than you are
The advertising department Of
any newspaper is only conducted
rightly when the rate is the
same to everybody under the
same conditions. When a news
paper offers you a cheap rate,
YOU can easily bank on it that IT
is a cheap newspaper and is con-
scious of its own weakness and
probably has a smaller circula
ton than it is generally credited
with.
rhe COURIER wants all the ad-
vertising that its circulation de-
serves and expects TO charge a
fair price for the same. At
present the COURIER krows that
HI has much the largest circula-
ton in Dubois County and knows
that commensurate with that
circulation its rate is the lowest.
If you want the most for your
money, advertisein the COURIER.

Rossini's Resting Place.

For years Rossini's body rested
IN Pere Lachaise, and then city
Of Florence asked that it might be
Transferred to the Church of the
Holy Cross in that city, where the
bodies Of Galilei, Michelangelo,
Machlayelli, Alferi and other great
Italians are entombed. Consent
vas received from the municipality,
hlt the masters widow, Dona
olympia, would consent to the
translation only on condition that
when her time came her body
might he placed next to that of her
husband. This request was bluntly
denied, for the reason that only
Italians who had achieved great
ness could rest there. In 1873 the
widow died and before her death
consented in writing to the removal
oi her husbands body to Florence,
Provided her body be placed in the
grave from which his would be tax
en IN Pere Lachaise, and after a
long time for consideration this
vas done.

Bread Is to Us.
Wlat bread is to the American or
Enronean poi is to the native Ha-
uaiian. 40 meal is complete with
ont Il. and for the great majority
II tho natives it forms the princi-
nal article of diet. While they prob
abIv could at the present time live
uitbolt this accustomed dish, the
time once was, before the advent Of
tbe whites to the islands and the in
reduction Of new foods, that life
without il would at least have been
prccarious.
Poi Is made from the tuberous
root Of the taro plant, species Of
the caiadium family, Of which the
well known elephant ear plant IS
also member. The tGbcr, which
averages in sizc that of large
sweet potato. is baked and after
ward pounded up with water until a
smooth white paste is obtained,
much resembling a wheat flour
naste. except that the color is a
pale pink or purple, dependent
upon the variety Of taro used. This
pa.te i, allowed to slightly ferment,
Or sour. when it is ready for use.
In ollen times ea-h family prepared
its own poi, the work being done by
the men. rs in fact were most other
cooking operations. AT the present
time poi factories in which machin-
ery rrInds the taro and mixes it on
large scale have largely supplant-
el tie old hand method. The Chi
nese Of the territory have come TO
be the leading manufacturers of the
product
Many Of the white residents Of
the islands eat poi to almost the ex-
tent as the natives, but the taste is
largely acquired, and strangers sell
dom care for it. Poi has a high
food value, and, since it formed the
principal article of diet Of the old
Hawaiians, some persons have cred
tied it with the splendid physical
development OF the race.
Poi was always eaten from wood
en- bowls, or calabashes, and was
conveyed to the mouth by the fin
gers. one. two or three being en-
ployed, according to the consistency
Of the food, which also establishes
a designation of one, two or three
finger poi. White poi eaters now
usually employ a fork or spoon in
Leu OF fingers, although it Is still
common even in the highest fani-
lies to give native dinners, or luaus,
at which knives and forks are Ia
bcoed and fingers only used. There
sas much etiquette among the HG-
wallans in eating with the fingers as
With modern table implements, ana
the graceful motion by which a por-
ton Of poi is twisted upon the fin
ger and transferred to the mouth
would not shock the sensibilities OF
the most refined. An invitation to
sreal luau, at which poi, baked pig,
fsh baked in leaves and cocoanut in
various forms form the principal
part Of the menu, is something that
h always looked forward to by every
visitor to Hawaii and always pleas
antly remembered afterward.

OLYMPIA, June 26.-At the
afternoon session of the senate
yesterday, the Beach bill, provid-
ing that the state treasurer shall
become the custodian of the State
College fund, was passed by a
Unanimous vote.
Peter McGregor, one of the re-
gents of the college, was loud In
his declaration that such a bill was
just what the regents wanted.
Beach lamented humorously on
the floor that this overwhelming
support from the friends and sup
porters of the college management
had shut of fsome extended re-
marks on the college, but he man
aged to get In q few of them.
"This bill, " said Beach, simply
means that college funds shall be

SERVANT IN THE HOUSE"
is A DELIGHTFUL PLAY

u
One of the most peculiar plays
to be presented here this season,
and yet one of the most delightful
ly new and interesting, is 1.-THE
Servant in<the House." which
played at the Tacoma theater last
night. The story abounds in NOR
ais, although the play cannot be
deemed religious. 1t is rich in
good humor, yet the heavy" tone
of the lines forces 1t out of the
comedy class. Its climaxes and
denouments are vivid, yet they do
not abound in the sensationalism
that goes to make UP the average
melodrama. In fact, it is hard to
tell what class this most wonder
full play really belongs to.
The cast Is small, and each part
is balanced so nicely that there
can be no star in the company.
Charles Dalton, as the drainman,
i has most of the interesting dia-
logue, but Wilfred Roger, as Man
son. the mysterious servant, draws
the attention of his audience from
the moment of his entry to the
stage. Both men act superbly.
The play will be repeated to-

JAPANESE WANT NEW BIBLE

Writing in the Michi, Mr., Matsumura
Kaiseki contends that it is the duty of
Japanese Christians to compile a new
Bible. The use of the Bible as it now
stands is, he says, an enormous obsta-
Gle to the progress of Christianity in
Japan. He gives his views on this
question in the form of dialogue, in
which A defends the Bible as it now
stands, maintaining that it Is too sacred
a book to touch, and arguing that If the
work of revision began there is no say
ing where it would end. But tri-
umphantly replies to this that no sin
cere Christian can treat things they
know to be false or legendary as though
they were solid facts. There are GER
tain parts of the Old and New Testa-
ments which certainly do not deserve
to rank with other parts of these two
sacred books. Revised and thoroughly
recast, the Christian Bible would be
unequaled by any sacred writings the
world contains, but in its present state
truth and error are so mixed together
that it is open to the attack of unbe-
lievers to an undesirable extent. b
maintains that those who advocate the
reconstruction of the Bible have a high
er regard for the sacred book than
those who are content to leave it as it
is. For NOBODY can deny that the Bible,
as it stands today is unsuited to the
present age. Some parts of it are unfit
to be read in public. A reconstructed
Bible would become a text book on
morality and religion which could be
used in every civilized country. B is
made to accuse A of killing the Bible
by refusing to alter it. (Kimi wa Bible
