Show Fifty Dollar for a Wile. Wilkesbakhe, Pa., Aug. 1. Abraham Abra-ham Breakstone is Luzerne Borough's leading merchant. Ho is young, handsome, hand-some, wealthy, but very bashful. Some months ago he entered into negotiations with Max Levy to procure him a wife. One of the conditions was that the girl must have $1000. Levy, after looking around for a while, succeeded in getting a nice young lady for Breakstone. Her name was Miss Harris. They wore married and Levy received a cheek for 850 for his labor, payable in thirty days. After Breaksloue had been mairied a short time he found that his wife was not worth $1000. He therefore stopped payment on the check, which by this time had fallen into the hands of I rank Yonhosh. The latter brought suit against Breakstone for tho amount, and rather than go to court Breakstone paid the check today. |
