Bedtime Stories
Boxer Becomes Independent
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Don't Judge a. stranger by his looks
Lest they should psove to be-
deceiOiny,
The stupid looking may be smart
In qcays almost beyond believing.
--Prickly Porky..

Having succeeded in getting his own
breakfast, and very good one at
that, Boxer felt quite set up, as the
saying is. He felt chesty. That is to
say, he felt big, self-important, inds-
pendent. For a little cub who had
cried most Of the night from loneli-
ness and fear, Boxer showed q sur
prising change. Tho light Of day, q
full stomach and the feeling that he
was able to take care Of himself had
made new Bear Of that little cub.
Anyway. he felt SO and thought so.
I'm not afraid Of anybody or any
thing" boasted the foolish little
Bear to himself, as he wandered along
through the Green Forest 'I'm glad
I left home. I'm glad ! am out in the
Great World. guess ! know about
all there is TO know. Anyway, I
guess | know eli there is any need OF
knowing.
AS he said this Boxer stood up and
swelled himself out and looked 30
funny that Prickly Porky The Porcu-
pine, who happened along just then,
just had to chuckle down inside, and
this is something that Prickly Porky
seldom does. "That little rascal must
have run away from his mother, and
he thinks he Is smart and knows all
there is to know. don't believe that
even Mother Bear could tell him any
thing just now. She would be vast
ing her breath. Hs needs lesson or
i two in practical experience. be-
lieve III give him one, just for his
own good"
There was something almost like a
twinkle in Prickly Porky's usually
dull eyes. as he slowly waddled
straight toward Boxer. Boxer heard
the rustic Of Prickly Porky's tail
dragging through the leaves and
turned to see who was coming. What
he saw was, Of course, the stupidest
looking fellow in all the Green Forest.
1t was the first time boxer had
seen Prickly Porky and he had no
idea who he was. Boxer stood UP
and stared in the rudest and most
impollte manner. He wasn't afraid.
This fellow was no bigger than he,
and he was TOO stupid looking and too
slow to be dangerous.
Boxer was standing in narrow lit

Casalino Denied Clemency
From a sta1 Correspondent

ALBANY, May 3.-App1ication for
Communication of sentence in the case of
Michael Casalino, who, with five others,
was charged with murder for the shoot
ing Of Joseph Holbach and the latter's
wife, Elizabeth, in South Ozone Park,
Queens, was denied by Governor Miller
to-day. Casalino is to be executed this
week. The crime was committed on
January 20, 1919.
The application for clemency was
based on the fact that Casalino has
been OF material aid to the state in
prosecuting the cases against the
others involved in the murders. Gov
ernor Miller holds that no definite
promises were made Casalino at the
time of arrest and that the mere fact
the prosecuting officials Joined in the
recommendation for mercy is not suffi-
cient to justify him in interfering with
the execution Of the Judgment Of the
court.

Death Cell Inmate
Denies Guilt, Says
Wife Slew Werner
Warder Testifies Confession
Was False and That Mrs
Werner Hit Husband With,
AK; sLiar!' Cries Woman
Specsai Dispatch to The Tribune

HERklMER, N. Y, May 3.-Rutger
B. Warder, convicted Of the murder of
Henry Werner on February FL, who
was brought from the death house at
Sing Sing to serve as witness at the
trial of the dead mans wife, Jennie
Werner, testified on the stand to-day
that his own confessions were untrue
and accused the woman Of the crime.
Warder asserted that four days af-
ter he came to the Werner home Mrs.
Werner told him that she had known
since two months after her marriage
eleven years ago that she had made a
mistake. He quoted her as saying
that if she knew where Eugene Hoke
kept his cider she would put poison in
it and do away with Henry.
Mrs. Werner had said, Warder tes-
titled, that she and her mother had
put some poison in some cider and
that on one occasion her mother fol-
lowed Henry with revolver. but did
not shoot.
Cohtradicting his own signed con
fession that he had killed Werner on
nearby hill, Warder testified that
Mrs. Werner killed him in the cellar
Of their home with an ax. He added
that she called to him to come down,
saying that she had killed Henry. War
der testified that he saw the body lying
by the furnace. $
Mrs. Werner arose, screaming: "You
can't say that to me! I've stood this
long enough. won't stop. He's told
lies enough,
When the accused had been quieted
said that both Of his signed CONCESSIONS
were false, that he had not carried the
body to- a gully, as he had first assert
ed and that he did not kill Werner
He awore he was innocent.

tie path, and Prickly Porky was com
ing up this little path straight to-
ward him. One of them would have
to step aside for the other. 1t didn't
enter Boxers head that he should be
that one. As Prickly Porky drew
near Boxer growled warning. 1t
was the best imitation Of Mother
Bears deep grumbly, rumbly growl
that Boxer could manage. It was
hard work for Prickly Perky to keen
from laughing right. out when he
heard it.
But he acted just as if he didn,t
hear It, He kept right on. Then he
pretended to see Boxer for the first
time. "Step aside. little cub. step
aside and let me pass" said he.
To be called "little cub" Just when
he was feeling SO important and
grown up, was more than Boxer could
stand. His little eyes grew red with
anger.
s "step aside yourself he rrowled
step aside yourself, II you don't want
Prickly Porky didn't step aside, He
kept right on coming. He didn't hurry.
and he didn't appear to be in the
least afraid. 1t was plain that he
expected Boxer to get out Of his wav,
Boxer drew back his lips and shoked
all his little white teeth. Then IA
slowly reached out one paw and mrs.
pared to strike prickly Porky Side
OF the head # he came any nearer.

Conway Tearle Fights
Increase in $25 Alimony

Conway Tcarle, stage and screen
actor, whose matrimonial record to
date is still two wives less than that
established by the late Nat Goodwin,
who had six. explained to Justice
Tierney in the Supreme Court yester-
day why he should not be compelled
to pay his first wife, Mrs. Josephine
Park Tearle, $500 a week instead of
the $25 week he has been paying
when she obtained her divorce In 1912,
and this was cut to $25. Mrs. Tearle
applied for the increase on the ground
that since the court granted her the
smaller amount, the earning capacity
Of the actor had greatly increased.
Mrs. Tearle produced an affidavit by
Lewis j. Selznick, showing that Mr..
Tearle has motion picture CONTRACT
that pays him $1,750 . week, with an
optional arrangement under which Mr..
Selznick may retain the motion picture

who is living with his present wife at
200 West Fifty-fourth Street, and has
"a country place in Westchester
County. will deposit about $4,000 in
The bank this year.
For Mr.. Tearle, his counsel said he
understood Mr.. Selznick was not going
to exercise the option with regard to
NEXT years employment. He also ex-
plained that the actor is paying
aIimony to Mrs. Tearle No. 2. Tearle,
IA an affidavit, complained that in 1918,
his first wife when she knew he was
out Of work, caused him to be placed
in Jail for non payment of alimony,

ruin him. He denied the reality OF the
