Official Vote.

The State Board Of Public Works has
completed its Iabors as Board of Equali-
zstion. A great mass OF testimony was
taken, showing, as a result, that Virginia
has hundreds of thousands of acres OF
wild land which has been bought and sold
for song, and which viii one day make
fortunes for purchasers. The Board has
carefully reviewed this territory and made
up the various county assessments. OF the
counties notified Of the proposed increase,
nearly all have pre- ented circumstances
either by letter or representation, but some
have not been heard from, and the natural
conclusion is that their people have no
complaint to make.
Yesterday afternoon the Board held an
executive session and discussed the forth
coming report. Secretary Stalnaker is now
engaged on this report, but it may yet be
dsy or two before II is completed, rs it is a
task of SEINE magnitude.

The Vain Old Woman.

There was once an old woman SO
very poor that she had no house, but
lived in hollow tree. One day she
found piece of money lying in the
road. Full of joy at her good fortune,
she began to consider what she should
buy with the money.
'If get anything to eat," she said to
herself, II shall quickly devour it, and
that will be the end of the matter. That
will not do at all. If buy clothes, peo-
pie will call me proud, and that will
not do; and besides l have no closet to
keep them in. All! have it! I will
buy broom, and then everybody that
1 meet will think / have house. A
broom is the thing. A broom it shall be. !"
So the old woman went into the next
town and bought a broom. She walked
proudly along with her purchase, look
ing about her all the time to see If peo-
pie noticed her and looked envious
thinking of her house. But as no one
seemed to remark her, she began to be
discontinued with her bargain.
'Does everybody have house except
mep" she said to herself, GROSSLY. 81
wish had bought something else!''
4lCoCutly ouO AuCb q lldu q
small jar of oil.
"This is what 1 want!" exclaimed the
old woman; anybody can have a
house, but only the truly rich can have
oil to light it with"
So she bartered her broom for the oil,
and went on more proudly than ever,
holding the jar so that all could see it.
Still she failed to attract any particular
notice, and she was once more discon-
tented. AS she went along modify she
met a woman with bunch of large
flowers.
'Here, at last, have what l want, |"
the old woman thought. "If can get
these, all that see me will believe am
just getting my house ready for bril-
liant party. Then they'll be jealous, I
hope"
So when the woman with the flowers
came close to her, she offered her oil
for them, and the other gladly made the
change.
''Now I am indeed fortunater' she
said to herself. "Now 1 am somebody"
But still she failed to attract atten-
ton, and, happening to glance ut her
old dress, it suddenly occurred to her
that she might be mistaken, for q SER
want carrying flowers for her master.
She was so much vexed by the thought
that she flung the bouquet into the
ditch, and went home to her tree emp
ty-handed.
''Now l am well rid of it ALL" she
said to herself. -Adapted from the Ger
man, by Arto Bates, in 81. Nicholas.
