rising and acquired a reputation for
this among those thrifty people In
the course of his round of boarding
houses of the town he was destined
to reach the house of Elihu Cramton,
father of the Hon. John w. CramtOn,
a famous landlord of the Bardwcll
House. Cramton was known far and
wide as an early riser. His regular
hour in summer was $3.50 o'clock, and
in winter o'clock. He ate his break
fast shortly after the rising hour, and
every member of the household had to
be on hand. Mr.. Cramton learned that
the schoolmasters morning habits
were too easy-going for that commu-
nifty, and he let ii be understood that
there would be a change in the young
mans hour of rising shortly after he
reached the CramtOn household.
This threat was not long in reaching
the young schoolmaster's ears. He
formed his plans and bided his time.
In the course of events his belongings
were transferred to the Cramton
house, and he followed them. His
room was assigned to him, and he
took good care to provide himself with
an interesting novel for the first night.

THE PRISON PROBLEM.

The governor devotes considerable
space in his message to the state
prison and the employment of the con-
victs confined there. He tells of what
has been accomplished and how the
prisoners have been employed.
As yet Utah has had no convict labor
question, which is such a source of
political strife in some states: the
question whether convicts shall be
made self-supporting or be kept in
luxurious idleness has not entered into
cur politics.
The state of New York has just
entered upon the policy of letting its
prisoners be idle, because of the COM
plant that to employ them in useful
and more or less. profitable occupations
is TO put their labor in competition
with free labor That the policy Will
prove a success is doubtful. It is a
