One of the worst fires in the
business section OF Van Buren,
for years was that of Sunday
night when the large lron.clad
store room opposite the Frisco
depot belonging to Miss Mamie
Rea and occupied by J. 7. Blaiue
with a large stock of second
hand furniture was destroyed.
The origin of the fire has not
been determined. The fire de-
partment responded promptly,
but the intlamable material made
it impossible 10 save the contents
or the building, aud for while It
looked as if the adjacent proper
ty would burn.
The handsome two.story Linck.
Kohne building adjoining on the
cas- was badly damaged both by
fire and water, but was covered
by insurance. The offices on the
west side of the building and oc-
cupied by Atty. Sam Dent Bell,
Claude Cain, j. T. Blevins and
John Donahoo were badly damag-
ed, the windows burning ont,
The rear windows in j. l.. Rea's
Office were broken by the heat
and the entire office equipment
was carried into the street.
Miss Rea carried $1,000 insur'
ance on the building and it is un'
derstood that Mr.. Blaine carried
like amount on his stock OF

policy on his library and office
furniture. The total loss aggre'

to make good in fast company by a few
good performances. That is frequently
demonstrated and is shown by the fact
that after apparently making a most sat-
isfactory showing many Of the young
pitchers who come into fast company
fail. Not until the youngsters have prov
ed that their deliveries cannot be solved
is their ability to make good established
1t frequently happens that after winning
two or three games young pitcher will
be hit with great ease. This because the
batters have learned his peculiarities.
Bedient OF Boston looked like q whirl-

a question of whether the pitcher caa

The theory that Washington has never
had winning team because of climatic
conditions here is being d.sproved by tins
years good showing of the Nationals
The reason for former poor shown
was that Washington never had a team
strong enough to beat out more than one
of its rivals. and that only happened once
or twice in many years. Just as soon as
the necessary strength was obtained the
climate here had no different effect on the
players than in other cities. weak

climate and a strong team is not affected

Nature has q way of adapting herself
and of supplying just the necessary
amount of energy that is called for. A
person in his daily routine must climb
forty steps three or four times daily to
reach his place of residence or employ
rnent. After a week or two he does not
notice this climb in the least, and he
comes 10 the conclusion that he is getting
considerable exercise out of the ascent.
What he has really experienced is a
natural adaptation, and IL he likes he
can very easily prove this assertion. He
argues that when he began that climb
of forty steps he found the muscles and
calves Of his legs would bind and cause
him to puff laboriously. He says that
now he notices no pain in his muscles.
and breathes no faster than though he
were walking on the level
He assumes that he can just as easily
climb 400 steps as he could forty. Just to
prove to him that he is wrong let him
climb eighty steps at the same rate of
speed with which he ascends the forty
now He may be surprised to learn that
long before he has REACHED the eightieth
step he is experiencing more fatigue than
he did when he began to climb the lesser
number
Let us take another example. A man
who lives in a suburb is accustomed to
taking the o'clock train to town. He
lives four blocks distant from the station,
and allows himself five minutes for the
walk He steps along at a brisk pace, and
within a few months he believes that this
exercise has put him in very fair condi-
ton.
Let him double the distance and double
the time. and see how quickly he notices
the fatigue. Or let him go the same dis
tance in less time, such as three minutes
See how quickly his breath Is cut short
and his muscles begin to bind
Nature will adapt herself. as 1 have
said before, to certain limitations. The
man who climbs a given number of steps.
or walks specific number of blocks in SO
many minutes. has merely trained him.
self to be able to perform these limited
feats Ten minutes at the sawbuck or
five minutets in a gymnasium will very
soon convince any person that weak
spots exist. and that physical fitness did
not obtain TO the degree that was imag-
ined.
There are really some physically IN
rapidly as an athlete. Stretch this short
distance into three or four miles, and
then the distance becomes apparent Now
the man who has fitted himself through
daily exercise. baths and rubdowns Is not
able to do all Of these ordinary things
but his system Is actually in such condi-
tion that ne can survive very pronounced
shocks and strains. AS a business man,
he finds his physical reserve always great
enough TO stand back of his mental la
bors.
But this is not true of the individual
who can climb the forty steps with ease
