ESQ RUNS THE WORLD AWAY!

SO RUNS THE WOhLD AWAIT Hear the steady. steady tramp Of the myriads of feet; As they batter on the damp Stony pavement of the street. Just a constant batter, batter, And a ending chatter, As the people who are going, ana the
 people who are coming, meet Rushing hither, rushing thither Tn the
 dust and glare and heat Rushing here and rushing there, Chasing phantoms in the air Are the worn and weary people who are
 tramping in the street. Hear the gentle pit-a-pat
 Of the little maid of three; Underneath the Leghorn hat
 Dimpled, rosy cheeks has she; While dozen little others, Little sisters; little brothers Fresh as mosses over which are cooling
 waters running free, Pink and white and sweet as roses-sweet
 as any bloom may be, Running here and running there, Chasing phantoms in the air, Are the dozen little others and the little
 maid of three.
 Hear the steady step and slow,
 and the humming of a song, As the lovers come and go
 In the tumult of the throng;; And a dozen little bubbles Float upon their seas of troubles, As the lovers with a method, their mean
 derings prolong, As the lovers steps are mingled with the
 rapid steps and strong. Still the lovers loiter there Building castles in the air As the lovers steps are mingled with the
 phantom chasing throng Hear the rapid steps and strong, Hear the steps of widest scope, Which to earnest men belong; Thrilled by fear and thrilled by hope; In the maelstorm ever busy; Whirling, swirling, growing dizzy Like the seaman in the whirlpool, cling
 ing to the knotted rope; Jostling jeering, fighting-fearing neither
 sinner nor the pope. Fighting here and tignting there Chasing phantoms in the air; Some are winning, others distinguishing
 everything but hope. Hear the step that falters by,
 Hear the clanking of the cane; Feeble steps and feeble eye,
 Weary heart and weary brain. But the all-propeling passion In this throng and din of fashion, Keeps the weakened form a-grasping for
 the things he cannot gain Keeps the weakened muscles rigid, while
 his hopes are being slain. And he totters here and there, Chasing phantoms in the air, As he chases fleeing phantoms-chasing
 phantoms with his cane Hear the steps of old and young, Hear the steps of grave and gay, Firm and feeble steps among
 Others In the passion play. Hear and there are bands a-paying, Hither. thither footsteps straying; All is toll and all is tumut, dlsappoint-
 ment holds the sway; Some are winning, some are losing-just
 runs the world away. All are rushing here and there, Chasing phantorns in the air; And we say, and say 1t truly-'just so
 runs the world away"

THE PROGRESS OF WOMAN.
And Some of the Dreadful Results
 That Must Come of 1t.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Miss Nettie c. Peterson is now start ing out on an examination tour for the national civil service commission. She is the first woman who has ever been on such a tour Miss Peterson will conduct examinations in St. Louis, Kansas City Topeka, Denver, and other points in the southwest. She will be a novelty From what people say about her she will also be a success.
 But how unhappy some men will be! There was a time when women's ignor- ance of the kinds of work which men do was pretty complete, or, rather, complete and pretty Men liked 1t. It pleased the expert accountant to have his vile re- gard expert accounting in much the same way as she regarded the conservation or force the procession of the equinoXes, the nebular hypothesis, metempsychosis' or any other great mystery. She then looked at him with the same admiration with which d savage looks at telegraph instrument or a COW looks at comet. Wasn't Jack wonderful? There was au- miration on both sides. Jack admired Gwendolyn because she was so helplessly ignorant To have charge of such lump of ignorance, or, rather of such bunch of ignorances, filled him with the great est appreciation of his own powers and with a tremendous sense of responsibil- ity. Meanwhile Gwendolyn kept on ad- hiring Jack because he did such wonder full and incomprehensible things down. town. Could there have been better arr engagement?
 What is the arrangement now? Gwen dolyn may have been through business college herself. At any rate, she has been through high school She knows that eX- pert accounting, while difficult and hon orable thing, is not superhuman or even a superfeminine accomplishment. She could do a little accounting herself, If necessary. She has eaten another ap- pie from the tree of knowledge. Another

Eden is lost. She appreciates her hus- bands work now because it is what 1t is, not because she doesn't know what 1t is. And the old relationship of appealing ig- norance on the one side and imposing knowledge on the other has to be aban- doned.
 The ultimate result-one cannot help shuddering at twill be that women will have lost the power to attract men by the baby stare and men will be unable to at tract women by their superior knowing ness. A man will have to find something to like in a woman besides her curious and ovable feminine inability to under stand, and a woman will have to find something to like in a man besides his strong and convincing masculine hold on the facts of real life.
 isn't this dreadful?
