Utilizing Old Barrels.

The Standard Oil Company has over
500 900 second hand barrels at its
Point View Oil Works, in Philadelphia'
where thev are reftted by large pun
ber of coopers. y
The barrels are gathered up in all
par,s of the Old World and brought
across the Atlantic to be used for fur
tber shipment. At the shops in this
country they are renewed with hoops
end broken slaves, and then glued and
filed with refined oil for the home mar
ket Formerly second hand barrels
were used the second time for export
shipments, but in the last few years all
those that are brought back empty arc
afterward used in the domestic trade.
There are now several large vessels
IN the way across, loaded with empty
oil barrels, Besides these there are
thousands of second hand barrels gath
cred ND in all parts of this country Some
are brought here and Others are Sc 1T tf

The export as we'll as the impor,,,
transportation of refined oil is mostly al

ocean. The transportation os the rehne(
oil from here is getting less every day

Came Back and Paid Up.

Sixteen years ago T. r. Schcck disap-
neared from Mexico, Mo-, between two
days. 1t soon transpired that he was
Overwhelmingly in debt. The schock
family was and still is prominent one
in the country, and his brothers indig-
nant at his absconding determined to
bring him back, but no trace OF him
could be found. Recently travel
stained stranger, brouzed by a southern
sun. came to Mexico. 1t was Theodore
R. Schock. He employed lawyer, called
bon Circuit Clerk Ben G. johnson and pro-
posed to pay off the judgments, aggre-
eating several thousand dollars. AS fast
as these papers, all Of them yellow with
age, were passed upon by the attorney,
Schock would pay them off. All OF his
pockets seemed to be filled with money.
He asked no questions and would answer
noae. When the last judgment was
satisfied he departed as quietly as he came
and no one knew that he was here till he
had gone. SchOck's home is believed to
be in South America. New Orleans
