FOn RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
. It is a most arceaMe dressing;, which
is at once harmless ami effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss aiul freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, anil ml hair, to a rich brown, or deep
Mark, as may he desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks fallin
ef tho hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not leeayeiT; while to bra.hy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vicon cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; find,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies Hair,
The Vicon, is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and M ill
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed Lits excellence

HALF A LOAF.
"Half a loaf is better than no bread.
Charlie."
Little Mabel Castleton said this wist
fully, her eyes, as she spoke, wandering
to the cradle where two curly heads were
lying.
"Uut when ono has had the whole loaf.
May, one does not exactly relish the half
rations you mention," said Charlie mood
ily. But hi3 eyes followed his "wife's to
the cosy nest of the twin babies.
"It 13 a bad time of the year to be out
a situation," said Mabel, after a long si
lence, "aud how many of whom we know
are idle ! It would not be easy to find
employment now."
"Vou think I had better remain with
Mr. Mi 111m?"
"I do. Tell me exactly what he said to
you."
"The substance of what he said was
simply this. Business is so very dull
that he & obliged to curtail his expeuses,
and he must discharge some of his clerks.
I have been with him for ten years, and
he was pleased to say I am very useful to
him, and he is very unwilling to part
with me. But he can give mo but half
my present salary, though he promises to
raise it when business prospects brighten.
I ilon t know what to do. We are none
too rich at my present salary."
"Yet we have saved something each
month. Besides, dear, we have not tried
to be economical. There are many ways
in which I could sture."
"And make a perfect slave of your
self." "Xot a bit of it. I have plenty of lei
sure time, now that May and Bella, can
amuse each other; come Charlie accept
Mr. Mili'Jn's ull'tr. -You may hear of
something better, even if you remain there
but don't throw yourself out ofa situation
in the dead of waiter for my sake aud the
children's."
The. last argument conquered. Charlie
knew too well that it would be id most
useless to look for a new situation, for the
whole town was echoing Mr. MiiHing's
cry o;' hard times. The small nest-egg in
the bank would soon molt away, when it
ui-came the solo suprt of four; uiul so
kissing Mabel, he promised to follow her
advice. But it caused his pride a sore
wrench.
lie had entered the service of his prc
seiit employer at beveute-.-u, and slowly,
steadily gaining favor by dint ot faith
fully performing every duly, ho had won
his way to the desk of head clerk. Not
until he had secured this position and the
handsome salary accompanying it, would
lie ask Mabel to become his wife, furnish
ing a pretty cottage home from his sav
ings, and giving her a thoroughly com
fortable income for house keeping ex i enses
scs. II: was not extravagant, but it
pleased him to' see his wile well dressed, to
give her an ollicient servant, to have his twin
girls ever presentable, his tablu well ap
pointed. All this had been easy enough
upon his salary, and there had been some
thing added for three years to the bank
fund.
But to do all this upon half the present
income would be simply impossible
House rent must be paid, and the sum re
maining each month would have to lie
careful iy calculated to meet 'all the ex
penses, leaving but little for pleasure or
extravagance of dress.
"Then, what would Will Eay?"
Will Castleton was Chanie'a cousin
whohadbeeu his life-long companion.
Together they had left the school-room
for a business position. Will entering
the grain store of Harvey & Uussel, at the
same time Charlie had taken the place in
Mr. Mirlliu's dry goods store, bhoulder
to shoulder the young men hud worked
their way up, till this financial crisis hud
brought all business men into temporary
difficulties of greater or less magnitude.
Will had expressed the warmest indig
nation at the proposal made his cousin,
strongly advising him to throw up his
situation, and "6ee how old Mifflin would
get along without him," and Charlie, be
fore seeing Mabel, was quite ready to fol
low his advice.
He knew Will would think lain mean
spirited to remain upon half salary, and
yet Mabel whs right, "half a loaf is better
than no bread."
And while Charlie Castleton was thus
weighing the pros aud cons of his decis
ion, Mr. Mifflin was listeuingto the coun
sel of his old friend and clium, the senior
partner of the hrm that had been Gardner
& Millliu, and w ho, though he had retired
years before, was still the friend and fre
quent adviser of his former partner.
"It is a mistake. Mi Win," he said.
"You had better send young Castleton
about his business ami engage an entire
ly new book-keeper. You will liud that
half-pay means half-service, mark my
won is."
"But I might search C from end
to end and not find a clerk competent to
take his place."
"Then pay him full salary."
"I cannot do it unless I reduce the
number of salesmen, ami I am short
handed now. Theie is but one way to
keep my head above water. You see
Clark's failure involves ine very heavily,
and"
And the worried man of business en
tered into a lengthened explanation of
his difficulties not necessary to repeat
here.
It touched Cliarlic Castleton deeply,
when, entering tho counting house to an
nounce his determination to remain in his
old position to see the- face of his em
ployer brighten. He had been sitting in
a despondent attitude, looking over the
mail, the lines of care strongly marked
upon his face. As-Charlie spoke the large
eyes grew brighter,, and he smiled pleas
antly as he said:
"Thank your Charlie. It would have
caused me serious embarrassment to lose
you, and I am- heartily glad you will
stay. I trust you will net long be oblig
ed to take a small salary, but circum
stances compel me to economize,"
"You have leen a kind employer to me
for ten yearsr" replied Charlie, "and if I
am really of any more value to you than
another wouid be in my place, I will not
desert you."
And looking into the careworn face that
trouble was marking more deeply thau
age, Charlie resolved to serve Jlr. MiWin
more faithfully in his perplexity Jhan in
his more prosperous days.
It was not long before the old gentle
man felt the sympathy of his young clerk,
and looked to him as he had never done
before, for advice as well as service. He
admitted him to confidential relations,
explaining to him the difficulties caused
by the failure of other firms, some very
heavily indebted to the house of John
Mi Win, and others upon whom he had
depended for goods obtained upon
credit.
Llay by day, as tho hard, trying winter
wore away the two friends grew nearer,
and so far from lessening his work, Char
lie found himself willingly lifting some
of his employer's burdens upon his own
shoulders.
He gave more time to business, and
was gaining an insight into it of which
an opportunity had neysr before been
given him.
And Mabel, at home, was bravely tak
ing her share of the diminished loaf with
a smiling face and a cheerful heart. As
far as might be she kept from Charlie
the knowledge of hei domestic economies;
but some of them were apparent.
The woman, whose competent aid de
manded high wages, was dismissed, anil
a half grown girl engaged to mind the
babies, while Mabel cooked, and washed
and ironed and sewed, meeting difficul
ties with a courageous heart. She had
never been a drone in the world's hive,
having been a busy little dressmaker
liefore Charlie Cas-tleton won her heart,
aud took her to preside over his pretty
home.
But for three years of her married life
she had been much petted, and there
were many pleasures to put aside, many
dollars well weighed before they were
spent.
It was with a heart full of pardonable
triumph that the young couple at the end
of the j-ear of reduced pay, found they
were still out of debt, and had not touched
the nest egg in bank.
"You see. Charlie, we made the half
loaf go round," said Mabel, as they
went carefully over the year's expense
book.
"There are no crumbs," he said with a
wry face.
"Never mind ; it was better than idle
ness." "You are right; and there was more
than that, Mabel. I have been able to
help Mr. Mirllin more than I could have
done in our old relations to each other.
His perplexities made him long lor some
one to whom he could speak confidential
ly, and when the ice was once broken he
took me fully into all the business confi
dences. I could often suggest a way out
of difficulty that had not occurred to him
and even when I was of no actual use
to him, it was a relief to pour out his
troubles to some one who was in full sym
pathy with him."
"But you have worked very hard, Char
lie! I never saw you so. tired as you of
ten have been this year, and. your face
is more careworn than it has ever been."
"Well it is some comfort to know that
business prospects are looking brighter.
By closest economy, Mr. Miillin has man
aged to meet the obligations he was
afraid would ruin him, and there is a
good look out for the coming year."
"Will he give you a whole loaf yet,
Charlie?"
'Not yet, I think. Never mind. We
have held out so far. We will not de
spond yet.
"Despond! Iguepsnot! I am going
to have some of those crumbs you were
speaking of next year. I have learned
some valuable lessons iu saving."
The second year was certainly not an
onsy one for Mabel. A wee baby, in ad
dition to the three-year old twins, kept
the mother's hands very busy, while there
was no decrease in the household work.
Many little articles of clothing and
housekeeping, too, that lasted well one
year, were past service in the second, and
it was not so easy to replace them.
Often Mabel feared the savings for a
"rainy day" must be broke in upon, but
she kept all such fears shut up in her
own heart, and had always a bright word
of cheer for tired Charlie when became
homo.
tr'he never told him that the late break
fast that she had planned to let the ba
bies sleep while l.e ate his early one,
comprised none of the little templing
dishes of his own meal, but was literally
bread and milk six mornings out of seven.
She never let him know that the reason
sli'j suggested Iks lunch down town, to
save the long walk home, was really to
save the price of that meal towards the
dinner, the dainty little parcel he carried
never costing the pi ice of a regular meal
for them all.
tr'he did not tell him she was cutting up
ln r own dresses to lotlie. the twin girls,
and sewing busily every leisure moment
to keep ad the littie ones tidy.
And yet there came a day in Juno,
when six months of the second year were
almost gone, when she sp"nt the last dol
lar of the week's money while the week
was only half gone. Charlie had given
her. long before, some signed checks to
meet such an emergency, but it was her
pride to think that not one had yet been
presented at the bank.
She took one from the desk where they
had lain so long, and spread it out before
her, calculating with puckers on her pret
ty face, how small a sum sle could stretch
over the necessary expenses.
"I hate to begin," she said half aloud;
"if once we break in upon that money, it
will. melt away like snow before the sun."
There was no alternative but debt, and
Mabel knew that Charlie would never be
willing to owe any man a cent while ho
had a cent with which to pay hi in. bo,
with a great sigh, she dipped her pen in
the ink'to fill out the blank check. Be
fore it touched the paper, however, she
paused listening. There was a step in
the hall that was not that of the nurse of
her charges, a voice ringing out full sjid
clear, t ailing:
"Mabel ! Where are you, May t"
"Here, in my room," she answered
Oh, Charlie, what is it"
For the face at the door was so radiant
that all care seemed to have slipped from
it forever.
"Good news, May! And yet perhaps
I should feel sorry, too, nly I did not
know him."
"What are you talking about?"
"D'ul you read this morning's paper?"
"Yes."
"Did you notice the death of Amos
Gardner?"
"No. Is that the Mr- Gardner who
used to lie Mr. Mifflin's partner, before
you went into the store?"
"Yes; he was a bachelor, and he has
left his whole estate to Mr. Mifflin, except
a few legacies. The store will be closed
till after the funeral , so- we have three
days' holiday, May-"
"I am glad you will be able to rest."
'But that is not all- Do you not guess
the rest?"
"You arc to have your old salary
again?"
"More than that. Jlr. Mifflin took roe
to his kouaa this morning and told ma
all his plans. He will enlarge the busi
ness, and take on all his old salesmen who
are willing to come. lie has given my
permission to offer a position to Will
Castleton, who has been nearly a vearout
of employment, because he would not ac
cept your theory of 'half a loaf being
'better than no bread."
"I know. Poor Will, I am afraid Ma
ria had a worse year than ours has been,
Charlie."
-Nor is that all, May."
"More good news still !"
"More still! Mr. Gardner, Mr. Mifflin
says, did me some injustice some time
ago. by supposing that I would propor
tion my work to the decrease in my sala
ry. To atone for this he has left me live
thousand dollars."
"Oh, Charlie:"
"Hold on, little woman; lie also advise. 1
Mr. Mifflin, in their last interview, to re
ward me for my faithful, disinterested de
votion to him in his late difficulties, by
taking mo as a partner in the business."
"Charlie! Oh, my Charlie-! I must
rithcr laugh or cry!" said Mabel almost
hysterically."
"Laugh, then, by all means! The new
firm of Mifflin it Castleton must not be
christened by tears; even hnppy ones;
Hurrah! who will pay after this that half
il loaf is not better thau no bread?"

Dear IIebald: This camp is still
"looming up" as well a.s soiuo new
camps around us, but none more so
than Kokomo, in the Ten Mile District
and Gothic City, in the Klk Mountain
or Gunnisen country.
The Ten Mi!o district has three
camps, Chalk Kanche, about twelve
miles from here, Carbonateville, fifteen
miles aud Kokomo, tho principal and
largest, about eighteen miles. Several
new and valuableinir.es havt been dis
covered in this district lately and great
activity prevails. Smelters aiu going
up at Carbortateville rnd Kokomo.
The resources of this district Ipivh
been as yet undeveloped on account f
the great difficulty of reaching there,
but with the completion otaioad from
Georgetown and the erection of the
necessary reduction works a new im
petus has been given and it promises
to bo the richest district in Colorado,
outside of Leadville.
Gothic City, in the E!k Mountains,
one month ago was undreamed of and
to-Way it is a city of over 200 inhabi
tants! Ahnut the 2Sth cf May, a party
of three prospectors discovered a fis
sure vein of silver be ai ingquart7,about
eight feet thick, which assayed over
2000 ounces to tho ton. joining this
vein and following the line of contact
was a vein of wire silver eight inches
thick and which was traeod for over
two thousand feet, making this discov
ery one of incalculable v'a'ue. In
six days from the discovery there
was a camp of 5lh) inhabitants, and
only one or two log or frame houses
in the town, in two weeks there were
over 1200 peeple, and Gothic Citv was
organized.
.Leadville is improving ste.ndilv and
buildings ofa morn sulstantiil cha
racter are being erected ; nna there can
be n doubt but that for a few years
at least it will be a town of consider
able importance in this country, as
two railroads are hastening here which
will tend to give it some degree of per
manence.
That money is to be mad? here there
can be no doubt, but it can and :ily
will 1 e made by men with capital to
invest. The day for a poor man to
make a fortune iu a day in this district
has passed. Money is now made by
investing ;n undeveloped mines and
large sums are often realized in short
time from the investment of a few
hundred or thousand dollars, the poor
miner or prospector often seeing large
sums realized from what ho was forced
to 9ell for a song on account of la- k of
means to carry on, but the capitalist
has ene thing to gnard against and
that is "salted" holes, and in spite of
all his care he is sometimes taken in.
The best pla; e now for the piospect-
or with only a small sum of money
(enough to buy lain ajacK, tools, tent
and provision for from thiee to six
months) is either the len Mile District
or the Gunnison country, as these disj
tricts are new ami undeveloped ami
there are plenty of chances to take up
claims, while near .Leadville there is
no possible c hance.
Leadville has had two more narrow-
escapes from forest fires and was only
saved by the united ellortd of her citi
zens and Fire Department.
The Hutchinson family of singers
have been here over a week, entertain
ing the inhabitants with their Bongs.
The Fourth Ikw passed. There were
four cr five celbbrations here, but no
concei t of action to make i general
celebration. The Methodist, Presbyte
rian and Baptit Sunday schools had a
picnic at the Soda Springs, at the foot
of Massive mountain, about six miles
from here. The members of the Epis
copal church and nunverous others
went to Twin Laxes, about luteeti
miles distant, and passed the day fish
ing and boat riding- The Odd Fellows
and the Firemen had parades during
the day, and at night each had a ball,
which was well attended by their re
spective friends.
The Fourth produced its usual num
ber of drunken men, lights, etc., and
the thieves reaped their usual harvest,
but then thieving is becoming toocom
mon to deserve even a casual mention
in this camp. Even the victims
have ceased to mention their loss, or
complain to the police, for it docs not
pay. For instance, about two weeks
ago a man named Merntt Was robbed
of a gold watch and a pocket-book
containing a sum of money. He coir
plained to a po i'.'emar, and poinDd
out the thief. The man was am steu
and taken to jail as was also Mr. Mer
ritt, who was to be detained as a wit
ness. Mr. Merritt was put in the s tne
cell with the t hief and s v -ral other
notorious criminals, ami they jumped
on him and kicked and maltreated him
in a shameful mami'-r, it is feared de
stroying the sight of one eye. Licking
ut several tee: h, breaking his nose and
making his body one m iss of cuts and
bruises from head to foot. The un
fortunate man called on the jailor to
protect him, but was told to ".shut his
d d mouth." The next morning
when the case was called Mr. Merritt
had to be supported into the court and
was unrecognized lrom the terrible
condition of his head. An investiga
tion was of course demanded. , The
jailor handed in his resignation and it
was accepted. Two of the prhoners
I were fined 50 which was promptly
Ipaid, itai this ended the matier as far
as tlicy are concerned. Mr. Merritt la
minus his watch and money and per
haps maimed for life, because he dared
complain. The Chronicle after com
menting on the disgraceful affair the
next morning says:

When all our years are numbered
and life with us is a thing of the past,

place shall be ours, the Home prepared
for the children of God, or the place of
banishment from all that is good, love

us shall find himself shut out from tho
beautiful Home of the save.!, tho
thought that will fill his soul with re
morse and self-loathing will not be that;
he sinned every day ho lived, for w
are all sinners. It will bo that there
was a Savior provided and he might
have beeh saved. If he had bem in
his life entirely ignorant of the past
the thought will b horrible to him
How much more so will it bo if he iff -compelled
to remember that ho kuew
all about this .Saviour during his life!
Now is the time to securethis Saviour
each one for himself. No person can
d it for another. God never fails tn
do His part when we are ready to do

from our hearts to accept U8 nnd to
prepare us for a home with Hira in
