LITTLE PAWPAW.
A Union Soldier's Foolhardr Ventnr
Fnrnlihed Him with This
Hlalnutt.
"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."
