FIRST SOLDIER HURT IN WAR
David Jacobs Tells of Thrilling March
in City of Baltimore on
April 18, 1861.

David Jacobs of North Bethlehem,
Pa, has unique distinction. His war
record shows him to have been a gal
liant soldier, and it also indicates that
he possesses the proud, If somewhat
painful honor of having been the first
soldier wounded or injured in the war
of the rebellion even if it was only
with stone instead of bullet. Later
Mr.. Jacobs had all the experience
with the latter he wanted; but his
first wound as soldier and the first
soldier wounded came from a stone
hurled in his face, which placed him
hors du combat for several hours.
Mr., Jacobs enlisted on April IT,
1861, from Allentown, Pa, to serve
three months, and was mustered into

The cowpea is sometimes sown in
combination with other crops, such as
corn, Kafir corn and sorghum for hay.
When planted in these combinations
there is danger of the cowpeas becom-

which it is combined is planted too
thick. Sown broadcast, cowpeas often
make little growth with these crops,
but when planted in rows with corn
and cultivated the growth is quite sat.

For setting out trees, shrubs and
any plants at any season, spare no
time and labor in preparing the soil
and digging spacious holes for the
reception of the roots of the plants,
for upon the successful starting of the
roots depends 10 very large degree
the future success of the plant. Pre-.
vious to setting, cut off any injured
or decayed roots and settle plant in
the hole prepared for it, so that none
, of the roots will be bent or crainped.

and after one of the letters had been re-

shown that she had entertained herself

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Whatever else may be said of the
Payne bill there can be no two opin-
ions as to the propriety of the clause
that modifies the tariff on works of
art The proposed change is to admit
free objects of artistic value that are
at least twenty years old. This legal
age limit will classify certain paint
ings and statues as minors, not to be
granted full privilege of immigration
until reaching their majority. The
children of the realm of art are not
wanted, only the mature and dignifled
grown ups. Undoubtedly American
art collectors will experience toward
Congress a deep sense Of gratitude If
it succeeds in accomplishing even this
advance toward civilization. Ameri-
can artists, whose infant industry
the art tariff was supposed to pro-
tect. have been among the most urg-
ent in demanding its abolition. In
fact, no one seemed to desire its con-
tinued existence. In due time the
public will doubtless be informed OF
the reasons for the twenty-year age
limit.
