Keep a Man on the Job 210 yeare old. Joe Miller’s Jest Book. It lx an antique the orig inal I mean ! my copy lx a reprint a n d only 4i year« old. It cost me 4 dollars, plus 12 cents* tax. It is worth It. Now, w h e n s o m e r a d io Jokesmith dish es up a rauc ous and non-humorous version and concoction of a joke, I just look in my Joe Miller book and get the straight of it, and get the point, which, on the radio, you don't get, except maybe it is once in a full moon. But about this Joe Miller. He was something like Aesop. Every body knows, I guess, that it was Babrius who wrote down the fa bles, about 200 years after Aesop told ’em. That was in 600 B. C. And it was Mr. John Mottley who wrote down the Joe Miller Jests, in 1739. Joe Miller was English —lived from 1648 to 1738. You know, folks who are fed up on Horror, Murder, and her- other-husband type books, might switch over to Aesop or Joe Miller, and improve the digestion. Yours with the low down, JO SEKltA.
