A woman will have several irons in the fire at once, but she gets her ironing done by the concentration of her energy into the manipulation of one iron. Edison and-Marconi are men ot one idea, and each is absorbed in the pursuit of it. Bell had no time for aught else than his telephone. Cecil Rhodes divorced himself from every interest save the building of an empire in South Africa. Peary is consumed with his purpose of reaching the North Pole. Diaz set himselt the task of transforming Mexico into a great, modern nation. Jeffersou, in his day, was on fire with the passion for national liberty, and preferred death to failure, and Roosevelt is as hot and fixed in his single purpose today of freeing government from graft and patriotism from patron age. The principle is essential also to business success. There must be a life single in its purpose, whatever that purpose may be. "Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel," said the old Hebrew father to bis unprofitable son, and all history de monstrates that he did not utter a curse but a psychological fact. There must be a deliberate and in telligent determination of purpose, and an unwavering, immovable ad herence thereto. That is the spirit, and the only spirit, in which difficult problems are solved and successful issues wrested from unwilling conditions. Cent J'er Cent for September. OASTOniA.
