The Most Common Cause of Suffering.

rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most COM
mon of all ills, and it is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that
Chamberlain Liniment will afford
relief, and make rest and sleep pos
sible. In many cases the relief from
pain, which is at first temporary, has
become permanent, while in old peo-
pie subject to chronic rheumatism,
often brought on by dampness or
changes in the weather, a permanent
cure cannot be expected; the relief
from pain which this liniment affords
is alone worth many times its cost.

death was brought to this office
yesterday forenoon by a heart
broken son Of the deceased press
man, hush of awe spread
throughout the industrial bee
hive.
"Tom" dead? How could that
be? To be sure he had broken
down several months ago to such
an extent that trip to the Coast
was decided to be best. The trip
did little or no good; but didn't he
come smiling into the office only
couple of weeks ago, and to hearty
greetings say, "I'm feeling more
like myself again. Then there
was much friendly joshing, with
thankfulness back of it that
"Tom"-he was "Tom" to every
one-would soon be at his post
again in the company's pressroom,
YOU'RE sly one; you've been
pretending sick, so your good wife
would baby you, and feed you on
rich chicken broth and such like
delicacies y And "Tom" smiled
bravely in reply. He was making
a brave fight against the newt
able-braver than all his friends
realized-but he was conquered
or has he conquered? And now
we wonder in awe at the slender
ness of the thread of life.
By what can a mans worth be
Judged? By many things, of

The funeral services will be held at
the Christian church, of which
Mr.. Kinslea was a member, at
three o'clock this afternoon. At
the request of the family, three of
"Tom's" friends in the employ of
the Gazette company will act with
three others from the church as
pall-bearers.

friend in the office-and if he had
not been a good man-sympa-
thetic, kind, true-that could not
be said of him. When it was sug-
gested that his fellow-workers
send floral piece to the funeral,
as token of love for tom" and
respect for his Borrowing family,
there was not one but contributed
his or her mite, according to their
circumstances. And their love is
registered somewhere in letters as
big as if their little offerings had
been princely sums.
Many years ago, in old San
Francisco-not the risen city of
today-"Tom" was pressman in
Bacon's printery. One of the ap-
prentice boys who washed rollers
and did other "dcvil' work for
"Tom,' was the present foreman
of the Gazette company's press
room, Mr.. Boisse. In 1896 "Tom"
came to Honolulu and was given
the position his former apprentice
boy now holds. After a time
tom" quit his work and returned
to San Francisco, but not to re-
main long away from the Islands,
he being sent to Honolulu by the
Pacific States Type Foundry to
set up printing press purchased
by the Bulletin. He was a skill
full pressman, and in 1902 reentcr-
ed the employ of the Gazette COM
pany, working tremendously as
first assistant under his former
"devil." He was faithful and TRUE
in his work, cheerfully assuming
any extra burdens that came to
him in rush times. And we be-
lieve he was just as true and kind
in his home and civic life as he
was in his business life. 1t is of
our knowledge that he worked
hard and denied himself many
things in order to give his two
boys-William R. and Herbert L.
each a good education, that they
might be better equipped than he
had been for life's struggles.
Thomas Kinslea was born in
New York City, October 70, 1851,
and was just past his fftv-eiehth
birthday, He was married in
Oakland, California, September 7,
1880, to Miss Ella Williams, who,

Ing his way down the stream, had I'M
covered Sinclair and young Rebstock
from behind. A yell between the
shots rang across the wash, and the
cringing figure Of man ran out to-
ward Whispering Smith with his hands
high in the air, and pitched headlong
on the ground. 1t was the skulker,
Barney Rebstock, driven out by Wick
wires fire.
The shooting ceased. Silence fell
upon the gloom of the dusk. Then
came a calling between Smith and
Wickwire, and signaling Of pistol
shots for their companions. Kennedy
and Bob Scott dashed down toward
the river bed on their horses. Sea-
grue lay on his face. Young Reb-
stock sat with his hands around his
knees on the sand Above MIN at
stood before man who leaned against
the sharp cheek of the bowlder at the
point. In his hands his rifle was held
across his lap just as he had dropped
on his knee TO fire. He had never
moved after he was struck. His head,
dropping a little, rested against the
rock, and his hat lay on the sand; his
heavy beard had sunk into his chest
and he kneeled in the shadow, asleep.
Scott and Kennedy knew him. In the
mountains there was no double for
Murray Sinclair.
When he jumped behind the point to
pick Whispering Smith of the ledge
he had laid himself directly under
Wickwire's fire across the wash The
first shot OF the cowboy at 200 yards
had passed, as he knelt. through both
temples.
