John .Mitchell told a story recently in the Clover Club of Philadelphia, which was of a certain grim humor Mr. Mitchell was in his first suit of evening dress. He was talking about the seriousness of iife. and his story bore out his view. He said there were two sisters, seamstresses, who lived In a little room and earned the'r bread by acwlng They were young and pretty, but seldom laughed: they rever wore ccmely clothes: they did liothing but sit In a stooped attitude, r.ewiiig all day and a good pari of the rvenlng. One night when she was Quite worn out with labor the vounger ebld to the older sister: "Oh. dear! wish we waie both dead!" The older sister's mouth took on a grim smile as she returned: "Bo still and wurk lard. Business before pleasure." Post Cheek System.
