CAPT. JOHN WARD
 FED THE HELP HIGH Turkey Three Times a Day and They
 Kicked.

It would be hard to find in these days of high prices. except at the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, says the New London Day, an adult or minor who has had so much turkey meat that he or she will say, T nev- CT want any more turkey At the time of the building of the New Lon- don Northern railroad men were to be found who had had enough turkey to make them sick. One New London man, who knew of the incident, tells the story every Thanksgivin day, at least, to his grandchildren to show them that person may become tired of turkey as we'll as anything else. Capt. John Ward, who had a farm at Thamesville, took a gang of work men on the Northern road contract to board, when the bridges were being built in that section. He was the father of the late Capt. William Ward, well known by New Londoners of middle age. Captain John had more turkeys on his farm than he could sell. He had raised a big flock and the prices were so low, owing to the birds being especially numerous that year, that he served turkey to his boarders in lieu of beef, which was a great deal more expensive.
 One day William Williams, foreman of the gang which boarded at Cap tain John Wards, went to Contra ctor
  the table at the boarding house. The contractor heard Bill Williams kick, which went something like this:
 We get nothing but turkey up to Cap'n Wards. When we started in there four weeks ago we had turkey and thought 1t was a rare treat. About the second week we began to change our minds. You see we get turkey for breakfast, turkey for dinner, tur key for supper and what's left is warmed up for breakfast. Then we have fresh turkey for dinner and that's the way it goes. The men are sick of turkey
 Contractor Breed is reported to have looked sharply at Williams. Well, d--it!' he said, you don't know when you're well off They set a better table down at your boarding house than I have at my housei'
 The spokesman went back to the gang and reported that there was no relief to be expected from the boss. It is not recorded that the menu at Captain Wards changed before the turkey flock was eliminated.

ROUTE.
All Through Trains to Be Electric
Lighted.

In the history of American rail-
reading no such extensive and costly
improvements of coach lighting has
eyer been attempted up to this time
as that which will be made effective
by the Burlington Route the first OF
June.
On that date all of its through
trains will be electric lighted from
locomotive headlight to observation
platform. The most efficient electric
lighting system yet devised has been
adapted, namely, the dynamo system.
With this system there is installed
in the baggage car of each train a
high-power dynamo which supplies
the current for the entire train. Or
dinarily, when the dynamo car is de-
tached, there is a distinct dimming
of the lights, but under the dynamo
| system not only is enough current
generated to light the train when it
is in motion or standing still, but
| enough surplus current is stored in
each individual car to brilliantly light
it for several hours without any dir
ect current from the dynamo. This
in itself is a big improvement, over
other systems of car lighting.
With this great improvement, the
Burlington Route, which already is
unexcelled in it's equipment, dining
car service, regularity with which it's
trains run ION time" and complete
block signal equipment will have pas
senger service as nearly perfect in
all details as it is possible to make it.
