But what are the facts in the case?
Every man who is to-day DOING THINGS on a big scale has a
dozen irons in the fire at one and the same time. Look at Marshall
Field, for example. While he has stuck to the merchandising bust
ness right straight along, he has always been a man of side issues.
There is scarcely a financial pie worth cutting in which this man
does not have a fnger-and he is enc who has generally been cited
as an example of the ONE LINE idea.
Then go on down the list and name every man who has made a
fortune within the last twenty years, and you will find that men
with capacity enough to DO BIG THINGS cannot hold themselves
down to one narrow interest. They are too big for that. They have
the power to THINK, and consequently they must have variety of
interest, of expression, of occupation, of recreation.

And whyf Hear what Sir Arthur Helps has to say on this sub
ject-and no writer has put into literature more OF the concentrated
extract of common sense than he who wrote:
"A man should have some pursuits which should be always
within his power, and to which he may turn gladly in his hours Of
recreation. Fit objects to employ the intervals OF life are among
the greatest aids to contentment that a man can possess.
"The lives Of many persons are an alienation Of the one en-
crossing pursuit and a sort Of lsuess apathy. They are either
N or DOING NOTHING. Now to those who are half
their lives FIERCELY BUSY. the remaining half is often TORPID
WITHOUT ~QUIESCENCE."
Hundreds Of men have not yet learned how to play. They de-
clare that they find their keenest enjoyment in their work. There
is, then, all the more reason why such men should break up the
monotony of their lives by SIDE ISSUES IN BUSINESS. 1t is
a sane and wholesome thing to do. No man can stand on one leg
all day. Storks and mud hens can beat men to a finish at this kind
Of sustained effort. Did you ever turn grindstone-and try to do
it all with one arm? Then you catch the drift Of the argument
We must have variety in work, in play, in every occupation of the
mind. Consequently don't try to snub out the SIDE ISSUES in
business life.
And if you insist upon a proverb-remember that which warns
against putting all your eggs in one basket.
