DID you ever see man fish around in

Of soap? At tho first he simply reaches
down upon it to pick it right up, and Is
very much surprised 10 find that he hasn't
got it. Then lie approaches 1t more cau-
Iously, puts his hand over II, and then
comes down noiselessly till he gets every
finger about 1t, and then squeezes it tight,
and-misses 1t. lie looks at it for mo-
ment before making another effort, and
fills up the interval with o few remarks.
The third attempt Is sort OF semi'circle
described with q great deal Of sagacty,
but II is q failure. Other remarks follow.
Then he makes a succession Of dives and
slops the water over his clothes, and
drcnches the carpet, and catches hold Of
the soap several times, and lets so Of 1t

and finally in perfect despair, sits down
