Sunday Morning Talk
HOW TAREs CAME ro GRow


 Good seed had been planted-whence came tares when wheat only was looked for. Men slept'-that was the begin ming, and then "the enemy came and sowed tares." If you have never thought seriously about the meaning of this par able, 'sThe Wheat. and the Tares," get your Bible and read it carefully as re- recorded in Matt 13:24-30, and then the explanation given by oud Lord to His dis ciples 8 little farther on in the same chapter. Jesus said that the field was the world, the good seed those who love and serve God, and the tares those who will not have him for their King. The en- emy who handles the tares and some times mixes them in among the wheat i; where he thinks they will do harm. is the devil. Here, in this world the good and the bad are found in the same house, the same school, even in the same church. Christ tells us it will be so in this life. but he ''knoweth them that are His,' wherever they may be, and however poor. despised, or persecuted And this loving Saviour has in his tender keeping every child who. amid difficulties and opposi- tion, is trying to serve and please Him. He holds the trembling hand firmly in His own strong one, and by and by, when the separating time comes, he will gather every one of them to His Beautiful 'home." to be with Him forever
 The tares may represent the evil, the wicked do in the world by their inflnence and example. You notice that it is an enemy that "sowetf1 the tares" not a friend. So- it is always an enemy, not a friend, who sows the tares of satan ir our hearts.

NEGLIGENT HUNTERS.

Where there is a disregard for pre- ventive measures it becomes necessary at times to cprtail privileges, and where such IS done there is invariably no one to blame except those who are unwilling to exercise a proper amount Of care for the protection of the prop erty of others.
 The hunting season in Massachusetts orened this week and tl advance of 1t warning was given by Governor Cox to the effect that if there was any con- siderable number of fires on the first day attributable to hunters there would oe a suspension of the privilege. Rea- son for this was based upon informa- ton which had been communicated to The governor to the effect that the wood land trough the state was dangerously dry. and what happens when the care less hunter starts fires. or throws light ed matches and tobacco coals about in discriminatory, is fully undestood last year there were 13s fires in the first four days of the hunting season for which hunters were believed to be responsible
 Rain came at time this week to soak down the leaves and underbrush SO that the danger from fires, because of the entry of the hunters into the woods, was for the time being de- creased. but that cannot be relied upon to relieve the responsibility of those who go onto the property of others of being properly careful.
 woodland in any-stage of growth represents someone's investment. To have it destroyed by any agency means direct loss. The chance to hunt on anyone's property is good and sufficient reason why those who travel the woods or fields should exercise sufficient amount of care to see that damage is not caused either by deliberate acts e .areiessness. Wsntoi. neglect of such responsibility Is Unjustifed and there saH be only commendation of such 2 stend as Is taken by the governor oi Massachusetts when he declares that the iisplsy of gross carelessness will bring 5s penalty
 The need of being careful in the wood and and field Is quite as apparent 0, sourse in Connecticut as it is in Mass achusetts.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
TIE AURORA soREALIs OF 1ss7I

THE AURORA BOREALlS OF 1887 Years of observation covering many centuries, and embracing all zones and attitudes, give no record of any dis play of auroral glories equal in sub limity, magnificence and extent to the aurora borealis of November IA, 1887. Scientific observations were made of this remarkable phenomena and these were published in all parts of Europe, attracting universal attention. This display was pretty generally observed in all parts of the United States, but it was especially brilliant in the New Eng land states.
 The first evidence of the existence of this remarkable display consisted in a strong rosy illumination of the entire arch of the heavens. According to Prof Olnlstead of the Yale University, about 6 o'clock in the evening while the sky was thick with falling snow, ''all things suddenly appeared as if dyed in blood. The entire atmosphere, the surface of the earth, the trees. the tops of the houses, and, in short, the whole lace of nature, were tinged with the same scarlet hue.
 'The light was most intense in the northwest and northeast, and at short
 intervals it increased and diminished in brightness. Within ten minutes from the time the heavens began to assume their fiery appearances the whole clouded at mosphere shone with that marvellously
 brilliant light which, reflected in rosy tints by the snow on the ground, produced a scene indescribable glorious"
 In the city of New York, we are told, the display, as witnessed from an eni- hence which commanded an unobstructed view Of the horizon in every direction, was, in the latter part of the evening, magnificent beyond description. In the i western part of New York state the ex- ] hibition was most superb as seen and de- l scribed at various points of observation. 1 The commencement of the phenomenon l in Philadelphia was similar to that ob- served at New York. For more than 1 four hours of it's duration the aurora bor- calls display tNceded in extent and bril- i liancy anything of the kind ever before l witnessed in this region.
 | Observers at Annapolis, Md, describe
 the aurora there as coming on in waves, at quarter before o'clock, and return ing at [, and and at o'clock. Near Alexandria, Va, the display exhibited a
 rich orangc red color extending over tc 1 the zenith.
 Carolina, when first observed. covered a
 space of about fifteen degrees above the horizon, and was strongly marked by a
 pale white light above which the crim-
 son hue, peculiar to this phenomenon, be gan to be distinctly visible,

DrscARDs COMMISSION GOVERN
 MENF.


 In several Connecticut cities there has recently been an expression of feeling in regarding to the city mana ger form of government. In the neigh boring city of New London that form has been adopted and the old form has been succeeded by the new with the city manager yet to be named. The claim has been made that this was the only way in which it was possible to get rid of undesirable conditions under the mayor and council form and the ex- pertinent will of course get close atten- tion from other Connecticut cities New Haven at about the same time decided it wished nothing of the kind.
 A decade or so ago there were strong efforts put forth throughout the country in behalf of the commission form of government, step less highly central ized than the city manager plan. Low ell was one, of the cities which was irn- pressed by the merits of such a plan and it joined the procession putting aside the long established form to be found ill most cities of the country. In the ten years trial Lowell according to SpcClAl result lnlS WS6hs has had enough. With about half of the voters participating Lowell has decided by 9 majority of more than 500 to abandon the commission government and go back to the mayor and council form, adopting a new charter to that effect without including in the referen- dun the possibility of the city manager form.
 Lowell has found the need of reviv- ing public interest in municipal af- fairs. It has become dissatisfied with the manner in which the people were without voice in public affairs and it has disliked the high tax rate under the commission form, and believes that 1t is for it's best interests to get back to what used to be- There will be a mayor and a council of 15 in city of over 112,000, with some of the council heads to be elected by the council and others to be named by the mayor with the councils approval Biennial cleo tions will be held, the head of the po- lice department is outside the control of the mayor and department heads can be suspended by the mayer, over which the council has veto power while the council can dismiss such without the approval of the mayor. Lowell has turned and is going back to fight it out on the old line It has pro4ited from experience.

Lucky Scotland MT. Editor: The town of Scotland can boast of being the lui1iest town in the state of Connecticut, if not in the whole United States.
 In this time of unsettlement and unem- ployment, there was not one taxpayer of the town to be found by the newly elect ed select1nen to put in a fair days work on the roads So they were compelled to hire New London help to lean against their shovels.
