There is one Kansas community that
has abundant faith in prayer and the
people there point to their deliver

their claims. Ten miles south OF COLD

Two weeks ago, during the evening
services, q terrific storm broke just
as the minister had begun his sermon
Hail stones so heavy and so numer-

house that the voice Of the minister
was drowned. He stopped the SER

Rumble Like Thunder.
The minister returned to his ser

die Of 1t when a new roar smote upon
the ears Of the preacher and his con-
gregation. 1t was q rumble some-
thing like thunder, yet different, 1t

screeching sound accompanying It,
"Cyclonel" yelled a man in the
back Of the house. The congrega-
ton rushed to the windows, and saw
a twisting, funnel-shaped cloud, black
and dangerous, whipping toward the
school.
Women screamed and grapped
their children, but were prevented
from rushing into the storm by two
or three men who blocked the doors.
Excited men rushed about, trying to
think OF something that would atord

Suddenly the minister called: Lot

'UNKISSED BRIDE
IS SEEKING
DIVORCE
Alleges Husband Warned Her
to Expect No Sign of
Affection.

DETROIT, July S.-Leonard A. Self
Ger, druggist, must pay his wife, Mabel
3. Settler, from whom he has been
parted a number Of years, temporary
alimony of $15 week for ninety days.
He also must pay her solicitor, William
R. McCredie, fee of $35.
Mrs. Setter, known as the 'unkiss-
ed BRIDE" for the second time is ask
ing a divorce, charging extreme cruel
ty. She was denied decree in April,
1915.
In her latest suit Mrs. Settler says
that she and her husband held a con-
ference at the Fellowcratt Club last
September, and that she offered to re-
turn II Mr.. Settler would take two
family fiat, set his mother and aged
aunt up in the lower apartment and
reseve the upper apartment for them
selves. This, she said, Mr.. Setter re-
fused to do, declaring that he prefer
red to live separately.
Agreed to Return.
On April 80 of this year, Mrs. Self
ger says, she again offered to return
to her husband. She went to his store,
she says, and agreed to return, living
with his mother, or in a separate home.
Again she was refused, she says.
THAT Is deserion," said the court.
This case must be speedily disposed
Of I'll make an order to determine it
in ninety days"
The Settlers were married August
%, 1906. The bill sets forth that al
most from the beginning the husband
told her bluntly not to expect any af-
lection or signs Of affection from him;
that her place was secondary in his
acts and life; that his own family came
first in his thoughts and love; that it
was his primary duty to be guided by
the wishes Of his mother and imme-
diate family; that his wife would come
after" She also declares that her posi-
ton IN the homo was that of SER
want and a tolerated boarder.
Husband Denies Her Story.
Mr. soltzer says that his wife did
not ask him to take her back, but ask
ed him If the offer was still open for
her return. He replied that If she
wished to return to him because she
loved him, and not for economic rea-
sons, the home was open. She did not
come. Instead she filed suit.
Since 1907, except for the fall and
winter months Of the present year, Mr..
Settler has paid his wife alimony OF
$40 week, voluntarily. He denies that
he is making large sums Of money as
druggist, and says that his income
is only sufficient to defray the personal
expenses Of himself and aged mother,
and the contributions to his wife.
