QUIPs AND QUIRKs.

Political The sudden deter
mination of Auditor
Pot-POurri. Braden to decline re-
nomination when he
had it within his grasp is causing no
little stir among the politicians, Some
construe it to mean Capt. Braden'S par-
pose to bob up as candidate for gov
ernor, but this theory has comparatively
few advocates. The general impression
is that the instinct which causes rat
to desert sinking ship is at the bottom
of Auditor Braden'S sudden inclination
to drop out of the political ring. This
impression is further confirmed by the.
current rumor that Attorney General
Ciapp has likewise served notice on the
Merriam combine that he will no longer
affiliate with it. Lieut.. Gov. Rice went
out some time ago, and as Col. Hans
yMattsOn has been pushed out. with a
prospect that Col, Bobleter will also have
to walk the plank, itbeginS to look as If
there will be nothing left of the original
combine except the head. Knute Mel
sons appearance in the city yesterday,
associated with the rumor that he was
posing as the joint candidate of the
wheat ring and the Great Northern rail
way, had demoralizing effect on the
machine. 1t is observable that there is
a good deal of hurrylng to and fro
among the bosses these days, and the
possibilities are that something will
drop pretty soon with all aWfully
sickening thud to some politicians who
lately thought they were going to have
every thing their own way,
Cooking as a Hon. Albert Scheffer
is not only an advO-
Fine Art. cate of industrial
training, but he prac-
tees what he breaches. Among the
many accomplishments possessed by
his daughters the one he takes most
pride in is their skill in cooking. They
have young lady visitor from Albert
Lea, Miss Wedge, who is also the gradn-
ate of cooking school. One day last
week Mr.. Scheffer bantered his daugh-
tiers and their visitor to get up dinner
for him that day to be prepared and
cooked by their own fair hands. The
young ladies accepted the challenge,
and as Mr.. Scheffer left home for the
bank that morning he told the girls to
be sure and have the meal ready
at the usual time, as he would bring
friend home to dinner with him. Think
ing to play joke on the young ladies
he went around that forenoon and in
vited the hungriest looking lot of cpl
cures that he could find in the city to
dine with him. The list of guests in
cluded FL. p. Hall, Col. j. II. Drake,
Hon. Eugene Hendrickson, Col. We liz,
of the Merchants, DR.. Staum and other
gentlemen of well-known epicurean
tastes. Imagine the establishment of
the young ladies when, just as they had
concluded the preparation of the saw
DRY meal, they went to the kitchen win
dow and saw procession Of carriages,
filled with hungry guests. With
woman's quick instinct they took in the
situation and turned the joke on Papa
Scheffer. The menu was quickly en-
larged, and by the time the guests were
ready for the meal dinner was served,
and more sumptuous feast never de-
lighted the hearts and stomachs OF cpl
cures. Col. Well admitted that the bill of
fare surpassed any thing that the leading
hotel of the Northwest had ever gotten
up. while Mr.. Hall. who had taken a
sandwich along with him for fear of an
accident, confessed that his suspicious
of a st. Paul girls ability to cook a good
DINNER were unjust and unfOunded.
