The Member and the Soap故事
            A MEMBER of the Kansas Legislature meeting a Cake of Soap was
            passing it by without recognition, but the Cake of Soap insisted on
            stopping and shaking hands.  Thinking it might possibly be in the
            enjoyment of the elective franchise, he gave it a cordial and
            earnest grasp.  On letting it go he observed that a portion of it
            adhered to his fingers, and running to a brook in great alarm he
            proceeded to wash it off.  In doing so he necessarily got some on
            the other hand, and when he had finished washing, both were so
            white that he went to bed and sent for a physician.
