"Do you know why the gray-headed boys call that one-armed man papa?" asked the colonel, relates the Chicago Inter Ocean. "At the meeting; the other night he was the youngest man in the crowd. There is no stoop in his shoulders, no bend in his back, no limp in his walk, little gray in his hair, and yet the men stooping' with age or crippled with wounds or rheu matism, or gray as badgers, called him papa. In his home neighborhood down in Indiana the children refer to some of the older men as Uncle So-and-So, but it is always Papa Black. "In 1861 Black was one of the youngest, one of .the jolliest, and one of the most adventurous men in a company serving1 in West Virginia. He looked like a boy with his blond hair and smooth face, and small hands, and he acted like a boy, even when he was in a skirmish or on a scouting expedition. Between the picket posts of the two armies was a pawpaw thicket. The confederates managed tc station their outposts so as to com mand this thicket, and a union sol dier went into it at his peril. Black knew this, but one morning when he was released from outpost duty he started gun in hand for what he called the pawpaw orchard. He was going to have some pawpaws or lose his head. "Before he had proceeded very far the case was reported to the officer in charge "and Black was ordered back. When the order was shouted at him he pretended to misunderstand, waved his hand and went on. In five minutes the confederates opened fire on the blond head that showed above the bushes. Still the owner of the head went on picking pawpaws , until he had filled his haversacc. Then he started back, walking deliberately and turning occasionally to thnmb his nose at the confederate pickets. After he left the thicket, the confederates ran forward, a dozen men fired and Black went down. He came up again and started on a run for. our post. Our boys ran forward to rescue him and one of the fiercest little picket WAVED HIS HAND AND WENT ON. fights in our whole experience fol lowed. "Black was severely wounded and that day his arm was amputated. He declined to accept a discharge and re mained with the regiment through the war, acting a part of the time as the general's orderly, riding" reck lessly here and there in line of battle. At all events he did good service, but after his adventure no one called him Black, but Little Pawpaw. It was al ways: 'Hello; how are you, Pawpaw," but never: 'How are you, Black?' Even the colonel called him Pawpaw and he carried the name home with him. The girl he fell in love with and married called him Pawpaw. "When the first baby came to the family the wife changed the husband's title, softening it to 'Little' Papa, and when his old comrades came to the house they adopted the name. The next year they elected him to a town ship office and every vote was cast for Papa Black. Then he was elected to a county office and throughout the county he was Papa. Nearly every man, woman and child in that county knows the story of how he lost his arm. and so when he comes to Chi cago or goes to Springfield or to Phil adelphia, he is, among his old army friends, 'Little Papa,' and he doesn't dislike the name."
