ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1t is pleasing to turn
from the feminine victims Of the titled bunko
men OF Europe to the natural thrift Of a
young American girl OF this city, who has
reversed the custom established by her sis
ters abroad. This girls name was Mamie
Isdell. Sue is 22 years of age, a dashing
beauty. and has Just been married to Jesse
Fovel, OF Calhoun county, Ills. Mr.. Fovel
is 40 years of age, and before the ceremony
took place he was compelled to place $780,,
0JO in securities and money in his brides
name. The story was given out at the re-
corder's Office, where the girls striking
beauty caused comment. The old gentleman
said to the clerk In a low voice: "She's a
mighty purity girl and cost me just 500, 900 1"
A Reporters Investigations.
The clerk doubted ayes" continued Mr..
Fovel, "Sl00, 900 is what she cost. A re-
porter went on an investigating tour and
learned that Miss lsdell had been educated in
a convent, but was recently employed as a
governess in the family of Isaac Fovel, Il
nephew of the bridegroom Isaac Fovel
lives at 4il9 Pleasant street He said his
uncle was the wealthest man in Calhoun
county, Illinois, and had placed a big sum
in his young wife's name He was very
indignant at the story about the marriage.
Jesse Fovel is widower, and has grand
children older than his new bride. The
couple left for Calhoun county Saturday

There are now openly arrayed against

Dents come up In the senate they ought to
be able TO have some lively debates with
