II has been seriously asserted BY
many people that we are naturally
lighter after a meal, and they have even
gone the length of explaining this by
the amount OF gas that II developed
from the food. Average observations.
however, show that we lose three
pounds six. ounces between night and
morning that we gain one pound IL
ounces by breakfast; that we loso
about IA ounces before lunch; that
lunch puts on an average OF one
pound; that we again lose during the
afternoon an average Of 10 ounces; but
that an ordinary dinner to healthy per-
sons adds two pounds two ounces to
their weight.

tanned him to argue in the United
States supreme court the case of the
state of Wisconsin against the city Of
Duluth and the state of Minnesota to
restrain the opening of the present
Duluth ship canal through which all
the commerce of that port now passes.
Mr.. Davis won the suit for Minnesota.
He continued in the practice of law
until 1887, also giving considerable at.
tention to politics. In 1884 he headed
the Blaine delegation to Chicago where
he made one of the nominating speeches
for that candidate.
/ During 1856 many of the state news
papers advocated his election as United
States senator and when the legisla-
ture of 1887 met Senator Mcmillan
withdrew as candidate for reelection
and Mr.. Davis received every vote.
Authority on international Law.
Senator Davis first craftsmanship in
the senate was of the committee on
pensions, which he held throughout his
first term He was the author of the
pension law of 1890 which termin ated
the demands for excessive pension leg
islation and also satisfied the old SOL
diers. As member of the committee
on territories Senator Davis led the
fight for the admission of the Dakotas
to statehood, making his first speech in
the senate on that subject.
AS student and an authority on in
ternational law Senator Davis fur
nished briefs to President Harrison
and Secretary of State Blaine on the
CHILEAN dispute and the Behring sea
controversy. His advocacy of the new
locks at the Sault Ste Marie ship canal
carried to successful result legisla-
ton the wisdom of which has since
been amply demonstrated.
In 1893 the Republican legislative
caucus voted in favor of the reelection
of Senator Davis, but before the legis-
lature voted on the senatorship various
influences interviewed and he was finally
elected by majority of 1, although the
Republicans had a majority of II on
joint ballot.
Head of the Most Important Committee.
At the beginning of his second term
Senator DAVIS was placed on the COM
mittee on foreign relations, and when
Senator Sherman was transferred to
the cabinet of President Mckinley Sem
ator Davis was placed at the head of
tina important committee.
In 1856 many friends of the senator
pressed his name for the presidential
nomination, t before the state con-
sention to name delegates met he with
drew and Mckinley delegates were
sent from Minnesota.
During the past four years Senator
DAVIS position as chairman of the
foreign relations committee of the sen.
ate and later as one of the Paris peace
Commissioners kept him prominently
before the public of all nations. He
was elected without opposition in 500
for his third term.
Senator Davis has been twice mar
ried. His first wife was Miss Laura
Bowman, and, after she had secured a
divorce from him, he married, in 1880.

such legislation was enacted and en-
forced during his term of Office. Dur

that session Governor Davis was one
OF the candidates but Chief Justice

sign of pain accompanied the approach
of death, and, in fact, the sad inev-
liable car so peacefully that even the
attending physicians could not assure
themselves of death until three or four
minutes later. Unconscious at the last
Senator Davis did not, of course, rec.
ognize any of those of his family or
friends who stood beside his bed when
the summons came. A slight tremor,
faint gasp, and the man upon whom
the eyes of an expectant nation, be-
reaved city and distressed world were
fixed had quietly passed into the silent
courts of eternity.
Surrounding the bed sof the dying
man for some time prior to the sad end
and at its arrival were the bereaved
wife, the aged and deeply stricken
father. Major Davis; two sisters of the
deceased, Mrs. T. T. Morford of Chi
cago and Mrs. Bartlett Trip of Yank-

battled with the disease which claimed
the life of Senator Davis several
months ago.
Came With Crushing Force.
The scene at the death bed was most
trying one, and the burden of the fatal
summons, though it had been expected
throughout the day, came with crush
ing force to the aged parents and the
stricken wife.
Frank B. Kellogg, partner in the
law firm of which Senator Davis was
the senior member, arrived at the home
few minutes after the end had come.
All day the dying statesman was in
o state of Inconsistencies. During this
time he had taken scarcely any nourish.
ment, and medicines were suspended
several hours previous to death.
For the past 10 days prior to death,
Senator Davis had been in delirlous
state, with occasional rallies, and for
the past few days had experienced
scarcely a rational moment. Little
nourishment was given him during the
last "a hours of his life and he was
obliged to receive medicine by injec-
tioG. He slept peacefully up to within
a few hours of his death, and met the
end without struggle or indication of
pain. The doctors feared a CONFUSION
nt the last, but this was absent and
death ensned gently and quietly.

In his review of the business situa-
tion for the past week Henry Clews
says that the result of the recent
election has given renewed life to
every line of business and continues
as follows:
''Sanguine observers will find in the
situation as it stnads plenty of reason
for expecting continued speculative
and investment activity. We have had
a long run of dullness in the market,
and revival was therefore to be nat
urally expected. The election has
created situation calculation to foster
booms in many directions. Judging
from common report, the leading
branches of industry are each promised
their own booms. New corporations
are forthcoming at rate which pro-
misses pronounced revival of the
industrial boom. If China troubles
should be satisfactorily settled, we
may look for a Celestial boom
with wide-reaching consequences We
seem destined. indeed, to enter the
twentieth century in the midst of
bewilderment of booms. But, all en-
thusiasm apart, there does seem much
solid promise of an era of prospe rity
that will give enhanced value to all
forms of sound enterprise and, much
as financial values have already risen,
it would be venturesome to predict
that they will not advance still
further before the end has been reach
ed /; reactions of more or less severity
of course are now in order and must
be expected. We recommend for the
present quick in-and-out turns rather
than burying for long pulls. The fire.
quent fluctuations hereafter will be
very profitable to the nimble operator
who catches them
