There are lots of young hearts ready and willing to be smashed at $25,000 a smash. The above is the New York price.—Boeton ’’ews. The New York cigar-store girl who was “mashed” and deserted got even pretty handsomely. The jury gave her $25,000 for the ruin of her “smoked” affections.—Cleveland World. The pretty cigar-store girl who was awarded $25,000 in a breach of promise suit in New York appears to have convincfd the jury that there was some fire where there was so much smoke.— Boston Herald. The New York cigar-store girl who has been awarded $25,000 by a sympathizing jury for breach of promise finds that her courtship did not end in smoke, after all.

The young woman may be said now to have $25,000 to-back-her in her fight lor her rights.—Philadelphia Press.
