To suggest the de ceptiveness of such statistical satis faction, it can be learned from an other statistician with nothing better to do that in the State of Washington, which he ranks first in divorces, the annual rate ia 613 decrees of divorce as an average, with about one person divorced annually in every 100 of the “married population.” This is sup posed to be surprising but not satis factory. But by taking the average death rate it would be easy to calcu late that in Washington and else where, all concerned, including all married and unmarried women with degrees of Doctor of Philosophy, have as good an average chance to die un divorced now as they ever had in the history ofcivilization. No doubt the most important benefit of educated mtnd is the habit of postponing final conclusions, statis tical and otherwise. Further consid eration, postponing finality, is said to be the habit and the test of educated mind. In simple, unstatistical lan guage, the man or the woman who is really educated becomes more consid erate as a result of learning to con sider consequences to all concerned. It would be preposterous to question the right of women to such education or the certainty of its results of im provement for all concerned, in or out of matrimony. If there is a fine question, demanding consideration, it is of improving the quality of life for all human beings. Except as men and women learn to do that, they learn nothing more than belongs to the life of the original cave dweller. His his tory, “satisfactory but not surprising,” shows that he was an amiable bar barian who improved as he grew more considerate. And so cap we.—Ex change. GEN. MANAGER BEACHAM. There are few young men in Atlanta that are more prominent and favorably known than Mr. V. T. Beacham, new general manager Atlanta Taxi-Cab Company. Mr. Beacham was for a number of years connected with the government and later with the Southern Railway V. T. BEACHAM. Company, which he left to accept the position he now hold with the above company. The Taxi-Cab Company is to be congratulated upon the selection of such a capable gentleman to handle its business, and we know the public will be benefited also. INEXORABLE FAITH. An old maid on the wintry side of fifty, hearing of the marriage of a pretty young lady, her friend, observ ed with a deep and sentimental sigh: “Well, I suppose it is what we must all come to.” BRIGHT BITS.

I shall not be back.” “THRIFT, THRIFT, HORA TIO.”—HAMLET. (From the San Antonio Express.)
