A Green Johnny

made to escape in the course of war
was a grand success. This was the
case of Lieu. Kupp or Cupp, of the
Eighty-ninth Pennsylvania, and a
resident of Bucks county, in that
state. In the boxes received from the
north the confederates permitted citi-
zens clothing, but any other garment
of blue shade was at once confiscat-
ed. In this way Kupp, who was a
tall, lank young fellow, got suit of
clothes that transformed him from
ragged Yankee into a slab-sided,
butter-nut clad North Carolianian.
Kupp chung out" in the Upper Po-
tomac room, among the roysterers
who presisted in making hideous
nights already sufficiently wretched,
and after he had got the clothes he
assured his friends that he had made
up his mind to eight out and 60 to
Gods land" But they laughed at
him. Those Upper Potomac men
never took anybody seriously, partic-
ularly one Of their own crowd. One
morning after roll call, and when the
guards had formed and were going
down the stairs leading to Turner's
quarters, Kupp, to the dumb amaze
ment of every one who saw the act,
fell in behind them and caught step.
The guard passed through Turner's
office without halting, but Kupp came
to a stop, and looking about him,
found that he was the sole occupant
of the prison Office. He was about
to walk out, when Maj. Turner ap-
peared, and in his peremptory way
demanded
"Who in the devil are you, sir?"
"I'm Tom jackson" was the sheep
lsh reply.
"a soldier? ?"
Eyes, sir, kinder one"
"Where are you from p
Fort Caliney, Tenth Regiment"
"And what in blazes are you doing
here I" asked the now indignant Tur-
ner.
"Ain't this har house Libby prison? ?"
eyes, sir"
"Waal, so they told me up the
street, an reckoned as l was handy
I'd kinder peek in an take look
at the Yanks-if you don't object"
said the unabashed Kupp.
"Have you ever seen Yankees ?"
"Only long way off in the distance,
an them 'uns had guns"
you, sir" shouted Turner.
"Go to the front and you may see lots
of Yankees; lots of 'em sir. Now,
get out of here or I'll have you sent
to the guardhouse."
And so Lieut.. Kupp was kicked
out Of Libby by the very man who
was responsible for his safe keeping.
Most men on finding themselves in
Kupp's position would have made "a
bee line for cover" the instant they
were outside the prison and the sur
rounding guards, but not so the i'm
perturbable young gentleman. He
deliberately crossed to vacant lot
facing the prison, and picking up
piece of wood began to whittle, stop
ping every few minutes to survey his
late companions in the Upper Poto-
mac room. Satisfied with this exter-
ior inspection he kissed his hand
gallantly to the men behind the bars
and started for home. Of course
Kupp got through to our lines in
safety; he was just that kind of a
