Rebuilding a City.

Christian SUN.
just little over twelve months ago
one hundred and fifty acres of the
finest business blocks in Baltimore
we're laid in ashes ard millions in
property went up in smoke. To-day
over one-half OF the burned district is
replaced with buildings far finer than
those that were burned, while the re-
naming portion is rapidly building
up. Streets have been wIdened and
beaut!fied, and the city docking faclli-
ties considerably enlarged /; warehouses
and business houses that are built
tower much higher in the alr and
cost more money. A great Municipal
improvement Association has been
formed to consider and plan for bet
ter sewerage system, larger school
buildings, park improvements, etc.,
that will cost the city nearly or quite
thirty million dollars. Baltimore's 4
finances are strong and her balance
sheet clean, and it is proposed 10 bond
the city and carry on splendid work
OF city enlargement and improvement
so that when the city is rebuilt it will
be far finer city than heretofore.
We hardly know in this life what
we are capable OF till pressure comes
and necessity forces. Alter the civil
war. the South, with desolate homes
ard untenanted fields, rose Phoenix
like, from the scene Of her own ruins
We never know what we can do until
we haye to try. What wealth man
could create if he labored and hus-
banded all the time as be does when
pressure comes Yet we hear people
speak of the poverty of nature and
the niggardliness OF tie soil"

The Man Who Lost His Fortune but
Enriched a Nation.

J. O. Atkinson, in Christian Sun.
The man who invented the cotton
gin was not born in the South nor was
| be farmer. Eli Whitney was born
in Massachusetts Decembe 8, 1865,
educated at Yale, cans South in 1892,
and settled In Georgia as a school
teacher. Mrs. Greene, widow of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene, was a patron and
friend and she suggested to him that
he undertake to contrive a machine
for separating seed from cotton, it then
being days task for one person to
pick the seeds from one pound OF green
seed cotton. Whitney toiled inces
sanity on his machine for long time,
having first to make the tools and even
draw the wire with which to work.
But perseverance began to bring Its
reward, and after awhile his model was
made when, the rumor of it. getting
abroad, mob broke into bis work shop
one night and stole his machine be-
fore he could get it patented. Before
he could make another the country
was rapidly filling up with cotton gins.
South Carolina, after litigation, allow
ed the unfortunate inventor 900
for his invention and North Carolina
granted him per centage on machines
purchased, about all OF which Whit
ney spent defending his rights as in
ventor. His efforts being fruitless In
this behalf, without fortune, but not
without courage, he left the South,
went to Connecticut where by getting
assistance OF partner with some
money, be engaged in the manufacture
OF fire arms and made fortune.
1t is not possible to conceive of the
influence OF this one invention on sub
sequent history. 1t revolutionized the
chief industry of the south and affect
ed, in one way and another, practically
every Industry in the United States
and most industries OF the entire world.
In 1871, 1896 pounds of cotton
were exported from the United States.
WhitneA's invention was in 1898.
Seven years later, in 1900, 1873, ,8O3
pounds OF cotton were exported. Now
our Gotten exports average per year
considerably over two hundred million
dollars worth And the increased con-
sumption at home has been no less
marked. Before Whitney it took one
man at least two years to turn out one
average bale of cotton. Now fifteen TO
fifty bales ger Cay sre not considered
high averages with a good gin and
three men.
Before Whitney there were no cot
ton factories, no Gotten exchange, no
cotton export trade, no large cotton
farms. Eternity alone can measure
the possibilities of one human life.
Moral: Every life is Il fountain out
OF which flow many streams, some to
bless and to enrich, others to blight
ard to impover,sh mankind. If we
keep the fountain clear God will look
after the streams.

Just a Smile.

| f. A. Bfininstool.
You can drive the clouds away
With a smile,
Just smile;
Oh, there's nothing, when man
Feels the weight of sorrows yoke,
In this whole wide world that can
All distress and grief revoke,
As smile,
Just smile.
How the way is frightened up
By a smile,
Just a smile;
Sweetened in the bitter cup
By a smile,
Just a smile;
Oh, the world may frown at you,
And your spirits try to blight,
But the skies are ever blue,
IT you always have in sight
Just smile;
Merry smile.
It's simple little thing,
Is emile,
Just smile;
Manv hearts will dry their tears
And go singing on their way,
And they'll put away their fears,
Thinking of the glad to-day,
By your smile,
Gladstone smile.
How the heavy burdens fall,
By smile,
Just a smile;
Hope again beams over all,
By emile,
Just smile;
Lonely lives are cheered each day,
Duties lightened, hearts made gla
Heavens beauty fills the way,
# to kindly words you'll add
just smile;
Happy smile
