He Wasn't From the Woods.

Two fashionably dressed young men
passed an old gentleman on Broadway
near Eighth street on Saturday after
noon. and attracted his attention by
laughing. At Bleecker street the old
gentleman WAS accos,ed W h pleas
ant "How do you do?" and one of the
young men wanted to shake hands.
81 do not know you," said the old
gentleman, drawing back.
''Oh. yes. you do. Don't You remem-
Der me? Why. you and l smoked a ci-
gar together in front of the Me;roDoli-
tan Hotel three Or four days ago"
The old gentleman who had never
smoked a cigar in his life, insisted that
he was not acquainted with the stran-
gers.
"You do know me-" persisted the
young man. ''Let us take a little walk
together and will convince you."
'.It isn't necessary; for, come to think
of it, do know you. You are an in
fernal thief and buuko steercr," said
the old gentleman.
Sir" said the young man, '.ycu
have hurt me deeply. You wrong me.
I will have YOU arrested for calling me
such names"
This WIS too much for the old gen.
tleman. He drew back his heavy walk
ing stick and punched the young man
in the stomach with the ferule. Ii
doubled him up and then the old gen.
tleman industriously pounded him on
the back. The young man Eowled
loudly and fed up Broadway. The old
gentleman forced his way out of the
crowd and started to cross Broadway.
Before he got over the other young.
man he had seen at Eighth street walk
ed up to him and said:
BEG pardon, sir, but what is the
trouble?''
."Take that" said the old gentleman
punching him in the stomach with his
cane. 'You are a companion of that
bunko man who is now running up
Broadway"
The fellow did Eot wait to hear more
but started to run away. followed by
the old gentleman, who was soon out of
breath.
II would not care so much" he said
as he stood for a moment to recover

The origin of petroleum is involved in
greater obscurity than the origin of
coal Some contend that it is sab-
stance of organic origin, while others
claim it is of mineral origin. The
first oil co1Ipany of VIII ich we have any
knowledge existed in Vcnango county
in 1929. A couple of men gathered a
few barrels of oil from Oil creek, and,
procuring horse and wagon, began
venaing it throughout the country as

B. C. On one of the Ionian islands
there is an old fountain that has flowed
for over 1900 years. General Hays
states that III 1876 ne purchased the en-
tire product oi the Franklin region,
amounting to sixteen barrels, and re-
tailed it in this city at 81 per gallon.
This was probably the first corner in
oil. In 1915 Lewis Peterson, ST.,
brought sample bottle of petroleum.
TO this city from his salt well at Iaren-
tum. He, Morrison Foster and David
Anderson experimental with it and
found that it could be made an excellent
lubricator. 1t was used in the Hope
cotton factory for ten years, the pro-
prietors being the only ones cognizant
Of tine fact. The Penusylvania Rock
Oil Company was formed in this year,
and experimental in the neighborhoOd
of Titusville. On August %, 1879, oil
in large quantities was first discovered.
The first cargo was brought down ON
the steamer Venango in 1860 by Cap
tain Reynolds. The cargo was readily
disposed of at 80 cents per gallon. This
lucky venture sounded the keynote to
the oil interests in Venango and other
counties, and the entire district was
thrown into blaze of excitement Oil
City, Pithole, Tidioute and other cities
sprang up with mushroom rapidity,
and Oil creek became the centre of
ceaseless-activity. The first oil carried
across the Atlantic was in 1860, and
taken over by canny Scot in homeo-
pathic doses. Tne traffic has increased
to such an extent that now several
hundred vessels are engaged in trans
porting it across the sea. In 1861 the
exports amounted to 80, ,OO0 gallons,
while in 1883 the shipments amounted
to over 492. GOO. 900 gallons. During
the past twenty-five years, the raw ma
terial has flIctuated in price from Al
cents to $50 per barrel, with an aver
age price of $3.50 per barrel.-Pitts-
