W Hundreds of lawless citizens gathered in Cooper Union in @ spirit of pernicious unrest striving to foment ineur- rection against graft and to raise the blood-red banners of good gov- ernment and enforcement of law! What can Mayor Gaynor do? Is there no way to stay an insolent people from laying violent | hands on its public service and like matters that are “none of its busi- ness”? | Shall any department of this city government bend to “hired | press agents of gamblers,” “corrupt newspapers and the blacklegs they keep around them,” or to any other scoundrel clamoring for the in- vestigation of so-called public servants who are by every right the| public masters? Insurrectionists like these Cooper Unionites should be stamped | out by—yes, by the police! a - THE REAL JOKE. ‘AME has her ironies. A mediocre, tacitarn British actor who notoriously never cracked @ joke in his life went peacefully| to his death some hundred and seventy years since, never dreaming that he would become known to the whole world as the arch maker and retailer of jeste! For not only did Joe Miller never write the famous Jest Book that bears his name, but he was in life a downright anti-joker! It happened in this wise. Miller belonged to « club of actors in which circle he was conspicuous for never making a joke himself or evon smiling at the jokes of others. At last, out of sheer irony, it be- came the habit of other members to preface any witticiem, new or old, with “As Joe Miller says” or “Have you heard Joe Miller's latest ?” After Miller’s death one of his circle compiled a book of good sayings current at the time, and #0 much a byword had Joe’s joke- lessness become that the author found it the most natural thing in the world to make a joke of his title by calling the volume Joe Miller's Jest Book. For several generations it was the habit of society folk to pre- pare for a dinner or an evening in company by “getting up” spark- ling converse with the help of some such joke book. And just as to-day few men can listen to a etory they have heard before without crowing “That’s an old one!” so the audiences >f those days loved to confound « familiar jest by genially shouting the name of the book the teller got it from. sanonnane vamnmasamssmata mth Copyright, 1912, © Tee Eres Publishing Os.
