TOWNS SOLD AT AUCTION.

Its Debts.

1t is not often that an entire village
comes under the hammer to be sold
by auction for debt, but such an event
has recently been exciting the folk OF
North Essex, whore the village of High
Garrett-comprising several farms, the
village schools. residences, the post
office, shops and all the cottages
were so disposed of, reports the Lon
don illustrated Mail The property
that was under sale is known locally as
the High Garrett estate" and at one
tine belonged to the late Samuel
Courtauld, a founder Of the firm In
Braintroe, In whose mills the silk and
silk crepe are produced that has made
the name of Courtauld so famous. In
Brajntree itself and the neighboring
villages the name of Courtauld is al
most a household word, for the bene-
factions of the family have been many
and on all sides car be seen evidences
of their generosity.
The village is well situated on the
high road from Braintree to Halstead
about three miles from the former
and about four from the latter.
There is little of interest In the place
to attract the visitor, excepting the
schools, which were built for the viii
lage folk by the late Samuel Court

est was shown in the sale of the estate.

the bidding was brisk, good prices
being realized. All but two of the lots
were sold. AS 1t was property to the
value of over $4,000 changed hands.
The principal lots sold and the prices

and the lot wal withdrawn at Ell 800.
The inn is still for sale and $4,000 is
given as the price at which It can be
purchased. There were also one or

1t is interesting to review the

of this action should not be over

the democratic members have o.
posed the republicans individ

important questions, after the
caucus decision has been reach
ed, they can oppose as a unit
and under Senator Gorman's
leadership. The only legisla

have taken a positive stand

WHY VACATIONS ARE GIVEN.
Mind and Body Are BENEFITED by
Change and Relaxation OF
Summer Outings.

In this age Of tension every boy should
be taught some form of recreation that
he will cling to in after life. When the
thing by which he has made his fame or
money threatens his very existence. he
can turn to this safeguard, and. while
his mind is ~pleasurably occupied, regain
his physical poise. 1t may be yachting
canoeing on little rivers, mountain
climbing, travelling, horseback riding or
hunting. Whatever it may be. the
thought and the love for it is better en-
gendered during the formative years, If
there is a full understanding that it is
to act as a running mate to the greater
work in life, and is properly and neces-
sarily part of a boys education.
For those who work under modern
stress, there is, with rare exceptions. al
ways a time when the strain becomes
greater than the endurance, and an en-
forced change is imperative. The sum
mer vacation is the expression of a phys
ical necessity. 1t has come into exist
ence in America in the last % years. and
it satisfies the nee& of many, especially
the young, who have not forgotten how
to play, or those, the strong among us.
who learned something as boys that
they still like to do as men. There are

nately placed, and still others growing
