Jim Reeves; Happiness and Wealth. Those who knew him regarded John W.Muckayas the most ami able, nlfahle and common-sensed of our multi-millionaires. Ho was very companionable and kind hearted, and an even-tempered, broad-minded man. Mr. Mackayouce described him self in part when‘he wrote, in answer to the question put by a newspaper, “Does wealth bring happiness?” “1 am surprised that any one should think for a moment that happiness depends upon wealth. I was very happy during my early struggles with poverty. 1 enjoyed the toil, privation and hardship I endured to win health. When n laborer in a New York shipyard when swinging a pick and shovel as a miner, 1 was as happy as I can ever be. “1 had faith in and hope for the future, and when I began to realize that hope by working hard, saving mv money and watching my opportunities, what j a happiness I experienced—such a happiness us the possession of my subsequent fortune has failed to give me. 1 must therefore answer your (jttestion by saying that 1 do net think wealth brings happiness. ‘John \V. Mack ay.” Mr. Mackav spoke from expe rience. He was a bard worker and always kept cheerful, and looked on the bright side of things. It was his experience that wealth does not bring happi ness.

GREAT FENCE SETTING. A Mile a Day of Woven Nothing Unusual. A mile of good fencing put up by three men in a day seems like a forerunner of the farmer’s mil lennium. yet this is being done right here in our own state every day with the Ellwood Steel Wire Fence. Of course this refers to putting up the fence after the posts are set. and it is an illustra tion of the convenience of the ready woven wire fences which have gained such popularity in the last two or three years. After the posts are set the roll of fencing, containing 10 or 20 rods, is unrolled and the fence lies flat on the ground with its bottom against the posts.
