The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1907-07-05

The expression "a tempest in tea
pot" is one of great antiquity. Its
first historic appearance Is in the de
Legibus" of Cicero, who quotes it as
common saying, "Gratidius raised a
tempest in ladle, as the saying is"
The French form, "Une tempete dams
une vere d'eau" Ia tempest in glass
Of water), was first applied to the dis
turbances in the Geneva republic near
the end Of the seventeenth century. In
England the word teapot was SUBJ
stituted for the sake of ALTERATION. It
is said to have been popularized by
Lord North, who employed it to char
Rcterize the outbreak Of the American
colonista against the tax on tea.-Bos.

THE LINCOLN FARM ASSOCIATION

In August, 1905, the birthplace of
Abraham Lincoln, a farm of 10 acres,
located in the bluegrass region of
Kentuckey, was saved from the hands
of Speculation by the patriotic act of a
private citizen. Even the old log
house in which he was born had been
taken down and the logs stored in a
cellar and held for ransom. These
were also recovered.
A few months later the Lincoln
Farm Association was formed with
Joseph Folk, governor of Missouri, as
President of the board of trustees.
Names of some of the trutees:
Charles Towne, Samuel Gomper, Ida
Nj Tarbell, VIM. H.. Taft, Albert Shaw,
Cardinal Gibbons, William t. Jerome,
Henry Watterson and others.
The Association is now in possession
of the farm aud the work of converting
it into a park already begun. Plans
for a Memorial Hall and Monument
have been approved. Fifty thousand
members have already been enrolled

BOYS ARE ARRESTED
ON GAMBLING CHARGE

Patrolmen Sloan and Hirsh raided a
crap game in the alley in the rear of
416 South Spring street late yesterday
afternoon and arrested Jacob Schone,
George Whalen, Edgar Livingstone, Eu-
gene Broadly and Charles Mills and
booked them at central station on a
charge of gambling.
The prisoners are youths ranging in
age from II up to 16 years and are en-
ployed as messenger and cash boys in
nearby stores. Three sets of dice and a
hat full of pennies and nickels were
captured as evidence. The boys looked
upon their arrest as a joke until they
were consigned to cells at the deten-
ton home, when their assumed bravado
broke down and tears took the place of
careless assumption.
1t is said that this game has been
running regularly for several weeks,
and that it has been patronized by more
than two score of cath and messenger
boys and newsboys, and that the
amount of money won and lost has as
sumed quite respectable proportions.
The boys will be turned over to the
Juvenile court for action.

PRETTY LITTLE BRIDE

an army officer, who was an old friend OF
Mrs Newlywed, happened along: He i'm
mediately offered congratulations and
sent flowers. Word was passed among
the guests of the hotel that a bridal cou-
pie was in their midst, and the hotel
management, the next morning, sent more
flowers. People, whispered, ,when! the
bride was not looking, there she is, and
an energetic newspaper woman who heard
the story wrote very pretty little ro-
nance and sent it over to the San Diego
paper. A couple of days later Mr.. Newly
wed was away at luncheon and his bride
walked into the dining room and took a
seat at a table right next to one at which
the newspaper woman was sitting. To a
guest whom she had met, she began talk
ing, and asked loud enough for the news
paper woman to hear:
'Do you know the reporter for the -?
''It Is such a funny thing she wrote a
story about us being just married and L
have been getting no end of flowers. II Is
very nice to get SO many flowers after
what! Two years?" asked the other
woman, and the next day the reporter.
who had heard every word, approached
the bride and made humble apologies for
her terrible mistake.
A disappointed muTmur went around the
hotel "She is not bride at ALL" said the
murmur, and this time all were fooled.
