Show COLORADO SPRINGS. (Correspondence Intermountain Catholic.) We often hear of bankers, merchants and other business men who quietly j pay up their indebtedness after they Jiave tailed, but who ever heard of a defunct newspaper ever settling up? I never did until the past week. Ed S. Kelly, the broker, has just broken the record. A couple of years ago he was ; getlm out a little weekly newspaper here called the Catholic News. It was a starvation proposition from the first, but he struggled with it for a time. Finally it suspended. Things came better bet-ter for the editor in the mining business busi-ness and last week he mailed postal orders or-ders to every subscriber, paying each the difference in his subscription from the time of suspension to the date paid up. It took about $200 to do it. I can j readily understand how a man with a conscience like that failed to get rich j in the business. It must have been an I ... . awful shock to some of those subscrib ers, and some of them have had the grace to reply in pleasant terms. Colo-la Colo-la do Springs Garotte. |
