There is one reason that this picture was not placed with the story, and that is because the story was typeset and printed and then this picture was just obtained yesterday.—Editor.

[A SONG FOR MARK ROBINSON
(Composed by Mrs. Olivia K. Nakea)
Famous is Mark Robinson
The Senatorial candidate of the County
The voters are hopeful
That you are the representative of the Lahui
Reveal fully of your beauty
Of your expertise and wisdom
You appear before the people
Displaying the flag of victory
Majestic is Mark Robinson
The Senatorial candidate of the County
Let the refrain be told
Vote straight away for Mark Robinson]

At his residence on Liliha Street, on the afternoon of this past Tuesday, Lehuanui K. Paleioholani grew weary of this life, one of the old kamaaina of this town, at seventy-two years old.
On Wednesday afternoon his funeral was held, and his body was carried to be put to rest at the cemetery in the uplands of Puea.
Paleioholani was born in Hilo, Hawaii, on the 11th of the month of February, 1844, whereupon he witnessed the five kings who ascended to the throne of Hawaii nei, and the one queen; and he also saw the waving of the starred flag of the nation that is now governing his land of birth.
Mrs. John K. Notley is his living daughter, and the remaining descendant by that name Paleioholani.
Being that Paleioholani was a member of a number of Hawaiian associations, the members of those associations came to march along in his great procession.
[This is none other than the great historian, S. L. Peleioholani.]

ZACHARY PALI JR.
Mr. Sol. Hanohano, Editor of the Nupepa Kuokoa, Aloha between us:—Please allow me in your boundless patience an open space in our untiring precious [newspaper] to carry this sad news all over the islands so that the multitudes, the family, and friends living from where the sun appears to where the sun sets at Lehua may know.
On the 9th of July of this year, at 5 o’clock a. m., we met with a letter informing us that our child, Zachary Pali Jr. had gone on the road of no return. Auwe, how painful and sorrowful, and we did not see how he looked when the beloved body of my dear child was left in foreign lands, at Chicago, Illinois.
My beloved child was born in Kaunakakai, Molokai, from the loins of Mrs. Rose Pali Kamohakau, in the year 1897, July 22, and he spent 22 years, 7 months, and 17 days breathing in the cool and pleasant air of this earth, when his life spirit given by God glided off, leaving his body for the bowels of the earth; for the body of man is a bit of dust, and dust returns to dust.
On the 9th of May of this year he left his friends, and left as well his parents and family, who are mourning and heavyhearted.
My beloved child left his land of birth, and went with his musician friends on the 8th of December 1916. My dear child and his friends went around different cities totaling 125, and went back to Chicago, Illinois, leaving his cold body for the bowels of the earth. Auwe, how regretful and saddened I am for my child, my dear child of my youth. Auwe for my beloved one!
It is God who blesses us all, and it is He who will lessen the sorrow and sadness that weighs upon us. Let us give much glory to God, for it is He who creates and He who takes away.
With much appreciation to the Editor and the workers.
We with aloha,
ZACHARY PALI PAHUPU,
MRS. ROSE P. PAHUPU,
MRS. ROSE KUALAAU,
J. S. NAILAU PAHUPU.
[I wonder if Zachary Pali Jr. has a marked grave somewhere in Illinois…]
