Ar excellent and comparatively mex

following: Paint corrugated card

One-half inch should be left uncovered.
The cardboard should then be covered

material, on which plain covering pa-

Hats To the Victor.

The spectators at wrestling matches
in Japan pelt the winner with their
hats. This is custom with the Japa
nese of showing their appreciation Of
the skill Of the winner. The hats are
gathered up by the attendants and
handed to the champion. Eventually
the owners come forward and redeem
their hats with presents of various
kinds. The custom in question is, it is
explained, due to Il recognition of the
fact that enthusiasm is likely to cool
down shortly after the event which en-
cited it is passed. So, to prove the
genuineness of his admiration. the Jap
gives lbs hat as a pledge. to be re-
deemed in his cooler moments.

LlNPHERE GUILTY OF ARSON.

ty-six hours in L3porte. Ind. judge

him to the penitentiary for an indeter-
inmate term of from two to twenty
one years and assessed n fire of 5000
The verdict was in the AZURE of Il

held out from the first for Il verdict
of murder in the second degree. with Il
penalty of life Imprisonment. Two
stubborn members all day contended
for a verdict of arson and not guilty.
respectively.
Following the sentencing of Lam
phere all the jurors signed statement
that they were convinced ny the evil
dence at the trial that the adult body
found in the ruins with the bodies Of
the three children was that of Mrs.
Guinness.
Lamphere expressed a similar belief
in the first extended statement he has
made to other than his attorneys since
the trial began. He said he consid-
cred himself lucky. in view of the evil
dence produced. in getting off as easily
as he has. He maintained his limo
cence, however
Contrary to eXpecta tons. Lamphere's
attorneys made no motion for a new
trial UnOfficially. however they ex-
pressed such intention. but in view OF
Lamphere's light sentence in compari
son with the heavy punishment which
another jury might bring in were the
new trial secured there is little likeli
hood of his being tried again.
In his cell Lamphere professed that
he expected acquittal. but his unwont
ed buOpancy belied his words. He re
sponded to congratulations on the light
ness of the verdice with whole heart
edness.
I'm ready TO start and take my med
icine like man." he said. Consider
ing the circumstantia evidence that
was produced against NE I suppose
am lucky. l haven't got word to say
against it.
I'm just as innocent rs you are of
what I was charged with. but it amt
any wonder the jury thought what it
did The way l acted that morning
of the fire certainly looked suspicious
when it was presented in court
Il thought Belle Guinness was not in
the fire. because all the money she must
have had wasn't shown up. But after
hearing the evidence it looks to me as
if that must have been her body in the
fire.
