WORTH WHILE FOLK: Nebraska's "Most Useful" Man
BY H. T. DOBBINS

State University defeated by the academicans
Dr. BesSey has been repeatedly called upon to serve
in an executive capacity, and acting chancellor for
months three different occasions while the govern.
ing body was deciding on a permanent president
Several times he has refused offers from other uni.
verSitleS one of them carrying salary twice that
he received in Nebraska; giving his reason that he
had greater opportunities there for carrying on original
research and that he felt he could be more useful 10
the people of Nebraska than in any other field of work
The genius for research that marked him as a col.
lege student has been his all his years. and he has
admittedly contributed more TO the total of botanical
knowledge in the United States than any other living
scientist. He ranks one of the leaders of this
science in the world He is author of a dozen differ
ent works. many OF them used as textbooks in the uni
verSitles OF the country and all of them containing
much that was new, and the direct result of his own in
detatgabe efforts at getting at the secrets of Nature
His talents and genius have been given general recog
milton among scientists of the United States He was
president OF the Botanical Society of America for two
years president of the Society for the Promotion of
Agricultural Science for similar period head of the de-
parment of natural sciences of the National Educational
association and only recently retired from the pres
dency OF the honor association among scientists that OF
the American Society for the Advancement of Science.
On the roll of officers of this society had previously ap
peared such names as Agassiz, Dana, Newcomb, lie
Cone, Henry Rogers, Pierce, Torrey, Hail. all OF whom
shed uSter upon the history of science.
An Ohioan born Dr. BesSey received his education III
Michigan, and when he informed the president that he
had decided take up botany instead OF civil engineer
ing the president told him, 81 glad OF 1t; but you'll
never be rich In the matter of worldly goods this pre-
dction has come true but in higher sense was false

pimentary speeches, given Dean Bessey, and the
title OF "The Most Useful Man in Nebraska was be-
slowed upon him.

again. and Daura carried them to the adjoining ROOM
She tried her door TO see that it fastened; looked
cautiously under the bed and into the wardrobe, where
among other rOcks her unused bridesmaid dress hung
patheticaly The next question was Where to put the
boxes? 1t still seemed ridiculous to think that they
could be in danger But Daura had undertaken the
responsibility and must prove worthy of Annra trust.
The things would be safest in place where no thief
would search for valuabes Behind the books in the
bookcase" Daura said, her eyes falling on the empty
space left by several Volumes removed in her search for
the "TIistory of Dunulm.' Those taken out she had
piled on the floor, meaning to put them back later.
Now having slipped the six jewel cases, separately
wrapped in tissue paper behind of books on the
lowest SHELF she knet down to replace those on the
floor
SURELY there had been red book on the top Of the
pile, NIoliere's Bourgeois Gentilhomme'' She
remembered gancing at the title before she laid the
volume down the Others thinking vaguely as she did
so that she must polish up her French. Now, Young
Night Thoughts" lay on the top, and ale Bourgeois
Gentilhomme' at the bottom under three other vol
tunes of AlOliere.
Daura was on the point of crying in surprise but
checked herself biting her lip sharply Mira must not
know that anything had happened! But-had any
thing happened? No, surely not She had had the i'm
preston of putting certain book the top OF the pile
but it was only an impression No doubt she had been
absentminded She had thought that she was doing
one thing while really doing another There could be
but one explanation Of the foolish little mystery. STILL
a voice within persisted "You did leave that book Oh
the top Somebody must have come in to pry about!
Somebody must have changed the books and forgotten
to put them back as they were before!'
The girl felt suddenly cold and afraid. She from
her knees with the jewel cases still in the skirt of her
thin silk gown which she had gathered up if to make

CHAPTER XIV

THERE was no sleep for Daura that night. Wild
thoughts and fears raced through her brain, and
she fanced that with the of the sea, mingled
the sad music of the Lost Piper playing through the
caves under the castle. She said nothing to Anna Of
what had happened. Why add to her anxiety? Daura
could bear it we'll enough alone; but only the
disappearance Of the green leather box that kept her
waking it the thought Of Troy in the Black Breton
room. She called commonsense to the rescue to chase
away her fears; but they would not CO. She remen-
berei how by day, she had said to herself, All the
better if he should die His death would George
but now the dark hours, listening for every sound
she imagined terrible things happening the who
had given her his trust. She thought if he should die
she would be guilty of his death She seemed to his

Without his consent, the matter could not be
ranged. She had kept night lamp alight in Annira

slightly ajar; though Daura felt she had shut it in
the morning after hastily thrusng under its contents
the green leather box she had taken from George and
she did remember having opened it since then. In
this drawer somewhere down at the bottom she kept
Alastar's revolver; and now, gathering up the soft
folds of her skirt with one hand with the other she
pulled the drawer wide open and began to grope for
wadded handkerchief case in which the weapon should
repose.
Handkerchief case and revolver were both there, in
the back of the drawer under thousand odds
and endS but something else, something far more i'm
porant was missing-the green leather box which she
believed to contain poison.

most as high with them in the value of results achieved
is the fact that he is the author of law that provides
for the teaching Of agriculture in the rural, graded,

and manual training schools are of great importance

DR.. Bessey came to Nebraska
twenty-nine years ago from the
University of Iowa, where he
built up department of botany
that ranked with the best in the
universities of the country. He
left a well equipped laboratory
and a well supported department
to take charge of the college of
agriculture in Nebraska, which
could not boast even a micro
scope. As dean of this new col
lege he received no more salary
than in the position he vacated;
but he saw in it an opportunity
for useful work. He began at the
bottom, and built the school in
to one of the best in the West,
after which he retired to the
teaching of his beloved science
Of botany and gave over the
active reins to younger hands.

Government Sale of Timber.

The government is now advertis-
ing for sale one Of the largest bodies
OF timber ever offered in one lot in
District Of the Forest service,
which includes Montana and North
Idaho. This proposed sale will
provide for the cutting of 600, OOO,-
600 feet of saw timber and about
$4,000 cedar poles, worth at the
present time. as appraised by the
governments expert logging engin-
eer, somewhat over 81, 900, 900. The
timber is located on tract of about
SO. 900 acres on the Clearwater
national forest between the North
and South Forks Of the Clearwater
river near Orofino, Idaho. 1t is pro-
posed to allow a cutting period of
IL years for the portion of the tract,
or for the entire area, 20 years.
This is necessary to financially iusti-
fly construction of over 80 miles of
railway to reach the tract, the large
mills to saw it into lumber, etc. The
state of Idaho will benefit in the sum
of at least $3.50, 900 by this sale as a
result Of the regular provision that
Is per cent of all receipts from forest
resources are turned over to the state
for distribution among the counties
within the national forest areas for
use Of school and road purposes in
those counties. An additional 10 per
cent is also devoted to road cor
where it will benefit both
the settlers and the national forest.
The probable rise in timber values
will greatly increase the states share
OF the returns from the sale also.
