A Little Roundabout,

Washington, ID. c., June 14.-Peace
negotiations are progressing slowly,
but favorably, everything considered.
One reason for delay in the selection
of a meeting place for the peace com
m~issioners is the indirectness of com
munication with st. Petersburg and
Toxic. President Roosevelt is the
only channel. The method known is
this: The Japanese minister makes a
suggestion to the president, who sends
it to Ambassador Meyer at st. Peters
burg, who presents it to the Russian
government. The foreign office cables
an answer tC the Russian ambassador
at Washington, who gives it to the
president, who then sends for the
Japanese minister and delivers h
message to him, who cables it to
Toxic.

An Embarrassed Young Man.

He had been invited to dinner, and
was fearfully embarrassed and shy.
When the meal commenced his agita-

mirror he discovered, to his horror,
that he had forgotten to comb his hair.
Lifting his hand to range his hair
he knocked his neighbor's elbow and
spilled the spoonful of soup which she
was just carrying to her mouth all
over her dress. AS he arose to help
her he upset his glass of water into
his other neighbor's lap and tipped
over his W plate of soup all over
himself. Finally, matters We're
Strengthened out, but a few moments
afterward, on putting his hand under
the table to feel whether the soup had
dried on his trousers, he felt-yes, it
was! How it could have happened he
could not tell. All during the rest OF
the mea he surreptitiously but firmly
worked hard and fast with his hands
under the table. His embarrassment
was painful to behold. When the din
ner was over, as he arose. the whole
tablecloth and everything on it came
crashing to the floor, while tho young
mar pulled foot after foot of the table
cloth out from between his waistcoat
and his trousers. Then he tled!-La-
