r FOR MAMMA.
Pitifui Cry or the Little Child who's
Mother Has Died.

The sorrowful songs have been sung.
the tender prayers have been said. the
last sad words have been uttered all
that love and sympathy and tender.
ness could suggest has been done fol
the wife and mother calmly resting il
her satin-lined coffin under masses OF
beautiful flowers, says the Detroit Free
Press.
The mourners have gone u with
aching hearts and tear dimmed eyes.
The hearse moves slowly away, aud
the kindly neighbor women left in
charge OF the house 90 about softly
putting things in order and speaking
10 an undertone awed still by the ma
iesty OF death. although the one it has
claimed has been carried forth. Their,
is still that indefinable something IL
the deserted rooms that tells of the
dread visitor.
Suddenly the door Of an upper room
opens and a sweet childish voice says
pleadingly:
Il want my mamma; I'm going to
find my mamma"
No, no. DEAR" SAYS the nurse, with
q suggestion of tears in her voice,
while she furtiyely wipes her eyes,
''come with me, like a good little girl
mo, | want my mamma. / haven't
seen my own mamma for two, free
oh, most four days. I'm going to lind
nv mamma"
But baby, dear mamma iSn't--she
isn't-here.n
"Wbere is my mamma then? She is
here too. She's down in her own pity
room. Tn going to hunt for my mann
ma. Mamma! Oh, mamma! BABY
wants YOU"
In all this world of sadness and sor.
row is there anything more sad, any.
thing more pitiful than the pleading,
wondering cry of a little child too sim,
pie to understand the mystery Of death
and yet dimly comprehending that {
change of some kind has taken placei
Is there anything hat touches the
heart more deeply than to answer tn,
pleading, pitiful questions, Where il
mammag" why don't she Gomez
She has gone away where?" Won
she kiss me goodnight any moreP'
Cant | go up to heaven and see her?'
The eyes of the little questioner opeI
wide, and there Is n perplexed aud dis
satisfied look on her face saying plain
" that she does not understand VIVA
you mean by saving that mamma il
gone" that God took her." that she il
'up in heaven now"
You try tearfuIly to make it plain t.
the child and to have her understand
that she will see mamma again some
time" but again the little voice say
with pitiful %petulancy: But / wan
my ann now. and I'm going to hun
until | find her.
What a sorrowful, disappointin!
search it is! 1t ends in tears and heart
aches, and it is long before cver
children understand that viii

vainly for her. Everything is full o

THE ACCUMULATION or WEALTH.
Bone OF the Surprises That Attend thu
Settlement OF Estates.

The general surprise that the late
Mr.. tayerweather. a nan of whom lit.
tie was known outside of a very limited
personal circle, should turn out 10 have
been the possessor of millions empha.
sizes the difficulty, says the n. Y. Star,
of obtaining knowledge regarding the
real extent of peoples meaus. Pub
lished lists of millionaires are proven.
bially,nnreiiablc. not only from the
%inaccuracy of the estimates given. but
from the omission of the large and in.
creasing class of what may be termed
silent millionaires." This is not
strange, for even the mercantile agen
cies, whose business il is TO rate the
credit OF men engaged in business, dc
not pretend 10 give any accurate figures
on private wealth not actually EN-.
ployed as capital in trade. The way
the general public, aud ever the finan.
eial world, can be mistaken about men
of wealth is sometimes strikingly illus.
trated. The late Moses Taylor was
supposed in his lifetime to be worth
from s., 600, 900 to $40. 600, 900. When
he died his estate was worth S25. 000.-
900 or more. On the other hand, one
of the Boston Thayers was believed to
possess Il score or more Of millions.
Yet it is stated that he left behind him
wealth which, though large, was COM
paratively much below what had been
credited To him.
The silent millionaires'' are indeed
difficult to track. They are either
people who have inherited wealth and
keep out OF business, or men who,
though in business, keep on the beaten
track and avoid public or commercial
prominence. Nearly every Wall street
broker or banker and real-estate peo-
pie could. ii they would. furnish long
lists of such individuals, whose very
names are not known to the public at
large. Another class whose knowledge
OF the facts about peoples real means
are extraordinary are bank and trust
company officers and the managers of
safe-deposit vaults. But such knowl-
edge Is in these quarters regarded as y
professional secret. add the silent
m~illionaires'' go on clipping their cou-
pons. collecting their rents. aud. as a
rule. living quietly and saving their in-
comes The number of New York
ladies whose wealth co UNITS up into the
seven figures is also surprising. There
are, according to the estimate of a
careful observer. over 100 women In
New York worth in their own right
$1,000 600 or more. and some of them
show double figures In the million
column too. As this wealth Is mainly
inherited. Its possessors do not attract
public ~setention unless their husbands
happen to attain prominence Of some
kind.
