Told of the Car.

Isabel F. Hapgood, the translator of
many of Tolstoi's books, once visited
the great Russian, and during her visit
he told her a story of one of his an
cestors. This ancestor, an army officer,
was an excellent mimic. One day he
was impersonating the Emperor PAM
to a group of his friends when Paul
himself entered, and for some moments
looked on unperceived at the antics
of the young man. Tolstoi finally turn
ed. and, beholding the emperor, bowed
his head and was silent.
''Go on, sir said Paul. Continue
the performance"
The young man hesitated a moment
and then, folding his arms and iTnitat-
ing every gesture and information Of
his sovereign, he said:
''Tolstoi, you deserve to be degraded,
but remember the thought1essness Of
youth and you are pardoned.''
The car smiled slightly at this
speech.

WALL STREET LET OUT.
Philippine Bonds Are Disposed of to
Western Interests.

Washington, April 22.-Aside from
winning away in the bidding with the
temporary Philippine issue, c. s.
Jobes, president of the American Ma
tional bank of Kansas City, has made
the deal a clean sweep by placing the
So, 000,0 900 issue with western banks prin-
cipally, and by negotiating through
Blair & Co. a western brokerage COM
pany of New York.
The Third National bank of St. Louis
has taken a portion of the certificates
by virtue of the personal association Of
Mr.. Jobes and Mr.. c. H. Huttig.
JObes has effectually impressed it up
on the minds of the Wall street lurli-
aries that Kansas City is upon the
financial map of the United States.
That scene in the office of a New York
man of millions, who coolly turned up
on Jobes and asked him in a supercili-
Gus tone, Where is Kansas City?"
has been depicted in eastern cities with
all the color at the command of jour
naIistic pens, and, accordingly, the pro-
liabilities are that Mr.. Jobes will be re-
membered for awhile.
He has emphasized his identity to a
decidedly greater extent, In that when
it came to disposing of the bonds he
passed by the fellows who turned him
down and did business with James A.
Blair, who originally halls from Medi-
cine Lodge, Kan, also the former home
of Mr.. JObes.
1t is understood that Mr.. Jobes clear
ed about S53, 900 by his days work. the
exact amount which he calculated to
make when he first. figured upon the
proposition. He went to New York
last Friday night after succeeding in
his coup. The offices in which he had
been receiV ed as a granger banker
Harvey, Fislxe & Sons, F'iske & Robin
son, Guarantee Trust company and the
First National bank-had no attrac-
lions for him. Instead, he sought out
Blair & Co, which firm, by the way.
though western. has grown to be one
of the largest brokerage houses in New
York.
There Jobes of Kansas City and
Blair of Medicine Lodge had several
pow vows. They recalled that Medi-
cine Lodge, besides Jobes and Blair,
also has produced Carrie Nation, Sen
ator Long and lesser lights, financial
political and otherwise too numerous
to mention. They also devised ways of
placing the Philippine certificates at a
figure somewhat over 102. And in their
counsels it was arranged that
Charley Huttig be let in on the
ground floor with Medicine Lodge and
Kansas City.

proved of late years. New crops have
been introduced with success. and
American enterprise and money have
