1t Ia q strange thing how people put
away an opportunity until 1t is to late;
Its only little things that go to make up

sometimes we don't get that wink and
then we arc not at all wise. Now. for in.
stance backache Is little thing Some
times 1t comes after hard days work or O
slight cold. 1t will pass off, you say; its
only the result of over.taxing my back.
There Is where you are wrong. 1t isn't
tho falt Of your back but your kidneys.
The exertion OF standing has interfere d
with their delicate mechanicism. You call
1t backache, but 1t Is really kidney ache.
II the kidneys arc not relieved chronic dis
orders set in, and there Is where the ''littlo
things" should not DO passed over. A

AN OBNOXIOUS LAW.
Believed That 1t VIII Drive Business Out
OfDelawarc.

There Is fear that business will be lost
% the State because Of the law passed by
the Legislature compelling foreign corpo.
nations doing business hero TO appoint an
agent on whom Court writs can be served.
Many Of these corporations have not COM
plied with tho law anu Prothonotary
[WoOley will give their names to the Attor.
ney General for action.
1t Is asserted that under the law that
wns designed to reach insurance compun.
los and dealers in agricultural implc
ments any foreign concern buying sup.
plies here must have an agent The Della.
ware River Iron Ship Building aud En-
asne Company, of Chester Pa, which
Guy paints in this city say thati they arc
compelled to appoint an agent they will
discontinue business in this city. Ac.
bOrding to the way the law is being inter
pretcd, foreign concerns buying boats or
bars in Wilmington must have an agent.
1t Is probable that the matter will DO
.taken to tho courts.

Fifteen Year Old Robert r. Ward, Son Of
George and Carrie Ward, Departed
This Life on nonday Night.

The death of Robert f. Ward, at his
parents residence, 10th and Spruce streets,
on Monday evening last, was q peculiarly
sad one he being tho only child, and had
just reached the age, 10 years, when life
was holding out to him all OF its attrao.
tiveness. His illness was Of very short
duration, two weeks, but during all Of 1t,
he exhibited trust and faith in God that
has rarely been seen before liz one Of his
tender years. He was faithful member
of Epworth NJ 4. Sunday School, and
learned to know Jesus as his personal
Saviour, one who never forsook him dur
ing tho intense suffering which he under
went before death kindly released him.
His testimony will never be forgotten by
those who were so faithful in their minis.
trations upon him, and he. never once
thought OF himself and mis- rapidly lessen.

thought word and action to comfort his
father and mother In their pitiful grief
over the prospect Of losing their only child

him there" The neighbors all loved him

affection to such degree that all were

Tic was CmDlOyeu nt MIR. w. n. trah s

his accident, and won many friends by his
courteous treatment of all, and was much
thought of by his employer and fellow
clerks.
Such a lifo as his will live on, the inilu.
ence of his efforts will be folt long years
after his death, by those who came in con-
tact with him. and is II source of great en-
enlargement TO his parents, who feel that
the sting Of his loss is greatly alleyiated
by the glowing testimony he left behind.

from our sight, but the softcning influence
of Robbic's life will be lefJ with us, MS an
encouragement to all to lead noblcr, truer

Calm on tho bosom of thy God,

Even while with ours thy footsteps trod
