He had taken her hand and raised
it to his lips. If he kissed it with
more ardor than mere friendship per
mits, Olenka did not know. She was
very grateful to him for his offers Of
help and for the kind tone which he
had adopted.

Odeskali came nearly every day.
For the most part he wore a smiling
mask. Sometimes he insisted on TAX

he read the papers to Openta and the
old man. Meanwhile Openta got a
little better, but he could not use his
legs without suffering torment, and

she preserved her charm and her
cheerfulness. But Odeskalki, if he
had wished, could have told of mo-
ments, carefully screened from the
Opentas, when the anxiety which
was tortUring her came to the sur
face. Once, as they were mounting
the last flight of stairs, having re-
turned from short walk, she began
to sob. Odeskalh caught her in his
arms and held her until she painted
for breath. She seemed pre-occupied
and not concerned with what had
happened.
That same day Odeskalh informed
the Opentas that in the future. he
would have to work on the day shift
and that it would not be possible for
him always to come up early enough
in the evening to find them awake.

Odeskalh spoke to the young Open

M|CH|GAN'S LIBEL
LAW IMPORTANT IN
ROOSEVELT CASE
Law Designed to Protect
Newspapers When Honest
Mistakes Are Made.

Marquette, Mich, May 3o.-Lawyers in
attendance in the suit of Theodore Roose-
velt against George A. Newett, charging
libel, are looking forward with great in
Flannigan constituting a section of .he
Michigan laws bearing on libel.
The law was designed to protect news
papers from the consequences of honest
mistakes and provided that demand for re-
traction of libelous article should be
made by the offended party. Colonel
Roosevelt made no such demand, 1t is
admitted, and on this point the legal ex-
perts are looking for interesting develop
ments. The matter will come up when
counsel for Mr.. Newett attempt to show
that the editor made his charge of drunk
enness in good faith and without malice
believing 1t to be trues
Judge Flanagan will have to rule, as
suming that the article was printed ma
liciously, but in the absence of demand
for retraction whether the alleged bad
faith of Mr.. Newett may be taken into
account in estimating damages.
Colonel Roosevelt spent quiet day, but
he was unable to resist the persistence of
veterans who had asked him to address
them, and compromised by receiving them
at the home of George Shiras. his host,
where he addressed them at some length.
The believing of fog horn throughout
the night and during the forenoon failed
to disturb him.

IN this Issue Of the TeIesrar1 Al 2
valuable dispatch from Ygasllins ton
giving the views Of Edward ". Par
ker. 81 the United States Geolos1A-si
Survey, relative to proper utilization
sof coal and coke at home. Mr..
Parker from time to time has IS
sued bulletins calling attention 70
waste ana suggesting home indus
tries where the states's coal could pc
utilized to advantage instead OF
shipping Il ont OF the state. Bat
little, IL any heed, has been given his
words. There has been NO extensive
or concerted agitation Of the subject
BY boards OF trade OF Industrial or
ganizations OF any kind. In this Inn
mediate vicinity. 1t is true, cheap gas
dispIaces other fuel. However, there
are, other parts OF the state where
coal could play an important part
in industrial development.
West Virginia seems to imagine
that its Industrial development is
largely complete when It takes up its
resources In the raw state land ships
them out of the state. Some sstates
take these raw materials as the first
basis OF their Industrial DEVELOPMENT
and thereby build up and maintain
a very profitable business Could
not the profit made by other states
in the use of the coal Of this state
be madelat home?
Mr.. Parker directs attention to
the fact that the railroad companies
benefit very largely by the practice
OF sending the states coal to other
states. Their profit or benefit does
not particularly enrich this state.
Mr.. Parker states that were this
enormous freight paid the railroads
saved wages could be raised and
strikes avoided. The suggestion IS
worthy OF careful thought.
Coal and. coke manufacturers, OF
course devote their capital, time
and effort to mining and disposins
of their coal and coke and no no
table EFFORT, If any at all, has been
made by them to branch out into
the manufacture OF other products
by the use of their coal and coke.
II is hardly probable that the time
will come when they will not limit
their activities and operations to the
mere development OF mines. Then.
If Mr. Parker's idea is to be carried
out, Others must build and operate
factories at home to use home coal,
The question is, how can they be in
dnced. to do this2 The only answer
the Telegram knows is for the state
board of trade to lead movement
with that end in. view.
