The best test of tho merit of an arti
cle is the way it sells. Bransford Mills,
at Owensboro, Ky., where "Clifton"
Hour is made, run night and day, and
yet they cannot supply the demand for
"Clifton." In this city, as elsewhere,
it is tho standard by which other Hours

its superiority the more pronounced.

".My enr-rlngs! my ear-rings! they were pearls in silver set,
That when my Moor was far siwiiy, I ne'er should him forget,
That I ne'er to other tongue should list, nor smile on other's tale,
But remember he my lips had kissed, pure as those oar-linns pale.

A LITTLE
LOVE COMEDY
[Original.1
Paul Klkard never knew a father's
or a mother's care, both his parents
having tiled when he was an Infant,
ills grandmother, who had quarreled
with her daughter on account of her
marrying Herman Klkard, hnd never
seen the child, but had paid liberally
for his support and education. She had
?Iii d when l'aul was In college and had
left Ii I in some menus. On being grad
uated ho was to go to an aunt, who was
to take the place of only relative.
When l'aul appeared at his Altin Car
oline's house a singular looking little
old lady with a pair of corkscrew curls
received him in a room so shaded from
the light that he did not see her till she
advanced to meet him.
"You are l'aul Klkard, my sister's
son," slie said, "and 1 ant your Aunt
Caroline. You are to stay here till you
nre twenty-three years old, at which
time I mil to pay over to you your In
heritance. Unfortunately I am called
away for a few weeks and must leave
you under the same roof with Claudia
Chace. a young girl whom I have adopt
ed and whose home Is here. My house
keeper will ho chaperon. You will meet
Claudia at dinner. I wish to admonish
you not on any account to fall in lovo
with her, since I shall not consent to
her marriage with any one. 1 must
have her to myself In my old age."
After this address, which she gave in
a cracked voice, she hobbled out of the
room and left the young man to him
self, lie was bitterly disappointed.
This, the only relative he had ever
seen, seemed to be not an especially
lovable person. Well, there was the
young girl, but doubtless she was as un
attractive as his aunt, for such old peo
ple are not likely to make companions
of girls that men would like.
Then CUUIO a summons (o dinner.
A young girl, the very counterpart of
his aunt, advanced to meet him, cor
dially welcoming him. Prom the mo
ment he saw her and listened to her
kindly words he knew he had met one
with whom he would be especially con
genial.
"I am CiQUdln," she said. "I have
heard a great deal about you from my
dear mother by adoption and 1 assure
you for years have felt an interest In
one who has had no one to take the
place of father, mother, sister or broth
er. 1 hope; yon will now have fine in
your aunt to till something of the gap.
As for me- well, we must consider our
selves at least cousins."
"Hut Aunt Caroline showed no Inter
est in me whatever."
"She will. Relievo me, you can tell
nothing about her from what you have
seen. She has the kindest heart in the
world and is very unselfish."
l'aul wondered if the girl would call
the ol<l woman unselfish bad she heard
her declare that she Intended keeping
her from a husband to administer to
her own wants. However, his aunt
and all the world were forgotten In the
delightful evening ho spent with
Claudia Chace. Occasionally she would
refer to the aunt, and In one Instance
as a very romantic person. Upon this
l'aul burst Into a laugh, at which Miss
Claudia seemed a trille offended, but
in another moment all was righted and
l'aul saw that he must not mention his
aunt except with the greatest respect.
Paul lost bis heart. The return of
the old lady and a declaration of love
came about near the same time, l'aul
proposed one evening and his aunt was
to return the next morning.
"Are you sure." asked Claudia se
riously, "that In doing this you are act
ing honorably ?"
Paul started. "I bad forgot Ion," he
said, "that before my aunt's departure
she gave me warning."
"Which was?"
"Why, tllO fad Is," said Paul, "the
old curmudgeon told me she would
never consent to your marriage since
she intended to keep you single for her
self."
"That being the case, I must decline
your proposal. i owe her too IllUCll
and love her too well to marry with
out her permission."
"Hut"
"Hut what'/"
"1 will beg her on my knees to give
you to me. Wo will both take care of
her be her companions in her old
age."
"What? Could you live with a cur
mudgeon?"
"For you I could live with a wolf."
Tho girl burst Into a Inugh, "Very
well," she siibl "you lUttJ" nsR lor, ami
we shall see if she is as selfish as you
think."
The next morning Paul was in
formed that the old lady had returned
and wished to see him In the library.
Ho entered tho same dimly lighted
room as before.
"Well, young man," said the crone,
"you've been here for three? weeks
With my daughter. 1 dare say you've
beim trying to rob me of her."
"My dear aunt, I would not rob you
of her for the world. Hut I beg of you
not to separate me from ono I love.
Together we will"?
Tboro was a rustle behind n port lore
nnd n benevolent looking lady emerged.
At the same tlmn sundry articles of
att'n'o nnd "make up" fell from tho
nunt, revealing the face and figure of
Claudia.
"Permit me to Introduce you to your
Aunt Caroline," said the girl, with a
merry twinkle In her eye.
"Your request Is granted," said the
real nunt. "My dear boy, Claudia ami
I have long looked forward to partially
relieving tho loneliness you have en
dured since your birth. I concocted
this scheme, hoping to glvo you n wife
to love you, and Claudia has carried it
out splendidly."
"And you shall bo mother to us
both/' replied Paul.
