JOE MILLER'S
 JOKE BOOK

This Sunday marks the firth am niversary e the death of Joe Miller, famed throughout the English speak ing, world as the supposed author of "Joe MiI1er's Joke Book" As mat ter of fact, Miller had nothing to do with the compilation of the many volumes of whisbered jests which have been published under his name, some of which are still popular. Miller was a comedian and this year marks the 200th anniversary of his first ap- pearance on the stage of the Drury Lane Theatre in London. In 1715 he appeared in the role of Young Clincher in a comedy called 'HThe Con stant Couple; or A Trip to the Jubi- Iee.'' His success was immediate, and he was long a favorite with the audi ences of the Drury Lane playhouse. Miller is said to have been remark able for the gravity of his demeanor 'toff stage" and it was the very fact that his mind seemed so inca pablo of grasping the point of 8 jest that caus- ed his merry companions to attribute every new joke to Joe Miller. After the death one of his friends, John Motley, compiled and published col lection of the jokes attributed to Mil Ter, under the title of Joe MiIIer's s Jests; or, The Wits Vade-mecum. D This little volume was very popular, and a host of limitations, all called Joe hlllST JSSI 5DOOAS, SpIdI1S up III the course of time Joe NdiIler'' became a synonym for a musty joke. Miller was buried in a London churchyard where the curious may still see his tombstone, bearing this inscriptions:
 Here I've the Remains of Honest JO: MILLER, who was a tender Hus- band, a sincere, Friends, a facetious companion, and an excellent Comed- ian. He departed this Life the 18th day of August 173s, aged 54 years.

BELGIAN COURT SAYS LOUISE IS
 SAxONS' QUEEN

Paris, Aug. 14-Thes General Tri- buna1 at Brussels has embarrassed the King of Saxony by holding that Louise, ex-Crown Princess, ,~whom he divorced at Dresden after her eIope- ment with Giron, her children's tu- tor, in 1902, still is his wife and Queen Of saxony. and that the Ores den decree is invalid.
 The decision of the Brussels court was rendered in proceedings brought there by Enrico ToselIi, a. conp poser Of inferior merit, whom the ex-Crown Princess married in 1907, after her Eestrange from Giron.
 Tose1n obtained divorce in 1911, declaring his wife was so capricious it was impossible for him to live with her and that she had squandered great sums entrusted >to her by his father One child was born to them and 1t was a legal battle between them for possession of this child that brought about the decision of the court at Brussels.
 Never Lawfully Wed
 Tn effect, the Brussels court in- forms Toselli he has no rights as the divorced husband of. Louise, be- cause he never was lawfully married to her., her real husband being the present King of Saxony.
 This decision, 1t is reported, was as great. a surprise to Louise, who has been living quietly in one of the suburbs of Dresden for some time past, intent only on. gaining posse sion of her child, as it was to Tose1li. and at it will undoubtedly be to the King of Saxony, wEo is at present at the front
 Following her e1opement with Gf- Iron, Louise, who was a daughter of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, was tried at Dresden by a court of seven judges and her husbands plea for a divorce was granted. This was in 1908, and in the same year she was deprived Of her title, being granted an income of 1 $12,00o year on condition that she i commit no act, directly Or indi- rect1y, liable to injure the reputation of the king or the royal family Retains One Title
 When she married Toselh she re- 1 tained the title of Countess Monti- guoso, granted her by her {father-in- law, the late King George of Saxony. Speculation is rife here what steps I if any, Louise will now take to es- tablish herself as Queen of Saxony and the Kings consortN by authority of the courts decision. Her last suc cess in. scandaIizing the king was a 1 book which she printed in 1912, con- l tafningf the frankest possible account of her life with the Crown Prince and l members of the royal family.
