Obituary.

Elisha Mosher Bassett, late of Old
Town, Maine, was born in the town
of China, Maine, May IA, 1858, the
son of Alanson Bassett and Freelove
(Mosher) Bassett. When he was
seven years old, his parents moved to
Moscow, Maine, where he passed his
youth on 4 farm, receiving such
education as was afforded by the
town schools. When he was eighteen
years of age, he, along with many
others, caught the gold fever and
went to the Black Hills, South
Dakota, hoping to get his share of the
wonde rful wealth that was said TO be
waiting for the taking. But mining
did not seem to appeal very strongly
to his taste and he returned TO his
native state and secured position
as section man on the Bangor and
Piscataquis Railroad, commencing
work August II, 1871. His faithful
ness, industry, and good Judgment
attracted the notice of the officials OF
the road and he was placed in charge
of a crew of workmen. He con-
tinued as section foreman, being
shifted about over the road to those
sections that needed the most at
tention until April /, 1887, when he
became Road Master of the Bangor
and Piscataguis Railroad, now known
as the Bangor and Aroostook. This
position he held at the time of his
death, enjoying the full confidence
and high esteem of the officials OF the
road from the president down.
He was married to Miss Elvira 4.
Lyford of Sebec, Maine. Marcn =,
1880, and established their home at
ThaRn thoir
child, Miss Myrtis Etnel Bassett, was
born. He resided at Dover until
April Is, 1887, when he moved to Old
Town, of which town and city he has
since been highly respected citizen.
Unlike many boys reared on
farm, he cherished a liking for a
farmers life and took much interest
and pleasure in his large vegetable
garden.
Beside his wife and daughter, three
sisters survive him, Mrs. A. w.
Rowell, Mrs. Elias Smith, and Mrs.
G.. A. Merrill, of Solon, Maine. Two
brothers, Joseph and William, and
one sister, Vesta, have passed on
before him. He died October Is,
1908, after an operation for appen-
dicitis. His interment was at Forest
Hill Cemetery, Old Town, where he
was buried with Masonic honors by
the brethren of the Star in the East
Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons.
A devoted husband, a loving and
indulgent father, true and earnest
friend, a faithful and conscientious
official of the Bangor and Aroostook
Railroad for so many years, his loss
will long be mourned.

will appear on the ballot at the cleo

This is not the case. The names of
these candidates are not printed on
the ballot. The only way the voter
can express his preference between
Bristow and Farrelly is by voting for
members of the legislature. A vote
for the Republican nominees for the

may mark in the Republican circle
for straight ballot, but If he de-
sires to vote for some Democratic

APPEALING TO THE EYE.
Good Deal Depends on Method Of
Serving Dish.

That there is everything in the way
in which dish is served caterers and
chefs long ago learned. The differ
ent' ways of presenting old dishes
is one of the attractions of tearooms
and restaurants in this and other
Ncities, says the New York Times.
Just this week simple combination
of sardines. lettuce and mayonnaise
appeared in a certain uptown restau-
rant in particularly attractive ar
rangement. A small platter was COW
cred with lettuce leaves arranged
upon 1t SO that the outer edges of the
leaves fringed the outer edge of the
platter. Then over the leaves was
sprinF ed a thick layer of lettuce
shredded and cut into small pieces.
Over this were placed the sardines
flanked on each end of the dish with
lemon slices that had been dipped in
minced parsley. A small mayonnaise
boat accompanied the dish.
