BY THE GLOVE.
Marriage With Bride and Groom
over 5000 Miles Apart.
From the Denver News.


Marriage by the glove is to be the cere-
mony that will unite in the bonds of matri-
mony Theodore J. Bonte of Colorado and
the pretty 19-year-old, rosy checked Jo-
hanna Huiberdina. Van-der-Kaay, the belle
of the village of GinnelCen, County Noord-
Brahant, Holland.
Bonte is a blue-eyed and athletic young
farmer. the owner of 16O acres of good
ground four miles south of Littleton. He
is strong of arm and tall, with pink cheeks
and large blonde mustache.
He came to Denver yesterday on an
important errand. A letter he had receiv-
ed from his buXom, dark-eyed Johanna
had set his heart a-fiutterng, and he spent
the greater part of the morning making
anxious inquiries about the best way of
getting married.
Johanna had written him that she was
his, but she was 1900 miles away The
prospective bridegroom, recalling her dark
eyes, and pretty winning ways, was, to say
the least, impatient He called at the Of
flee of the county clerk and recorder and
questioned a stony-eyed man behind the
counter.
rs it legal in my case" he asked. ito
have a marriage by the glover Bonte
went on TO say that II was the custom in
Holland and possessions to unite young
couples in Wedlock, even though the par
ties TO the contract were not together at
the time of the ceremony. The BRIDE
groom, he said, sent glove to the bride
and the marriage took place by proxy, a
friend representing him at the altar and
handing the glove to the fair one when the
officiating clergyman gave the order to join
hands.
The clerk had never heard Of the Gus
tom, and he advised Bonte to swear out
a license and send 1t along with the glove
as a sort of a guarantee of good faith.
Accordingly the young Dutchman answer
ed the questions upon the license blank
and departed, puzzled but happy.
Last night Bonte was interviewed at his
lodgings, 1411 Blake street.
Yes" he said, in answer to a question
regarding the proposed marriage, Il am
going to be married by proxy, or, as we
call il, by the glove. / will have to write
back to Holland and wait for an answer
before the marriage, and 1t will probably
be as late as May before the ceremony
takes place. 1t is a question in my mind
whether the government of Holland will
recognize marriage by the glove in my
case, because l have announced my in
tention of becoming an American citizen.
1 am neither a Qutchman nor an Ameri-
can. l have just got my first papers as a
citizen of this country, so what am I?''
There was one way out of the difficulty,
however, and Bonte had found it out
Upon the arrival of his Johanna a clergy
man will be called to tie the knot, but
the ancient custom of the Dutch, that OF
marriage by the glove, will be observed
just the same. Bonte will send the mar
riage license and the glove together, the
license to certify that he is eligible to wed,
the glove as a token that the contract
is irreVOcable.

HINDoo sERvANTs.
Must BE Handled Roughly, as They
Don't Appreciate Kindness.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.


To-day the Hindoo servant is a lazy,
good-for-nothing thief, and 1 will tell you
how to handle him." said the general
traffic manager of the Southern India
Railway in his office at Madras India to
an Enquirer representative, who was in
the orient several months ago and has
just returned to this city. Continuing he
in the country during my fifty years res
idence here, and one of the most remark
able changes has been in the treatment of
servants. few years ago in the good
old days of the Madras presidency, if a
servant disobeyed his master he would
have him strung up and whipped If the
whipping caused death, fine of seven ru-
PEGS ($l.75 in American money, according
to present value) would have been i'm
posed.
If, however. the servants master did
not care TO run the risk of having to pay
the fine which was considered a big sum
for the life of a Hindoo in those days, all
he had to, do was to send the offending
servant with a note to the police magis-
trate, and an official whipper would re-
turn with Sammy. The whole appliances
for whipping were kept at the police de-
partment. Sammy would be made to carry
his own whipping post. Flog him hard?
/ should say they would. The general
average would be thirty lashes, and if
the master thought that the rascal was
not punished enough he would order thirty
more lasheS. If the Hindoo died from the
effects of this punishment, why, there
good radiance to bad rubbish But look
at the condition of things now. The ras-
cally Hindoo win stand up and sass you
You ask why. 1t is because the Hin
doc whipping post has been abolished.
At present the offending Hindo is brought
before a rajah or judge of his own race,
and, of course. he will not be severe on
his countryman.
The only way that the Hindoo servants
can be made to obey is to beat and kick
them. You cannot show them kindness
or they at once put you down as softie
Take my advice, as long as you remain in
India, and your servants are lax in their
work, you just make them acquainted with
the toe of your boot"
The old gentleman sighed, as he recalled
the former manner of dealing with SER
wants. His tone of voice indicated that he
would like it re-established. His advice
was both good and true, for Hindoo ser
wants do not appreciate kindness, and I'M
derstand only a kick when you desire them
to obey. A "sahib' (master) who will not
give his servant a kick or a slap has no
standing with the Hindoo, and is counted
by them as "a no-good sahib''

and the bulky body of the frog, with
leap of unexpected activity, few through

An instant later the snake was on his
way down froggy's throat, head first, and
a good gulp or two and the snake was
done for The frog then. took up his IA
vorite position on the edge OF the tank,
and blinl<ed laZily and seemed not at all
disturbed. The sixteen inches of green
snake left outside of his mouth threshed
around with lively wriggling for quite
while, and then lay still.
The next day the frog sat at the tank
side, gravely meditating and masticating
mis- prey. The green body Of the snake
was now a few inches shorter than at
shutdown the day before. The surviving
snake was thoroughly scared He could
not be induced to leave the remote corner

which was slowly but surely absorbing his
mate. On the fourth day the frog and the
snake lay down together, the snake In

The bullfrog had now acquired an appe-

he gratified by annexing the survivor of
his first feast. This orgie lasted for five
days the snake having grown somewhat
meanwhile. This time Mr.. Frog did not
guard, but boldly invaded its territory
and only captured it after an active chase
and an exciting struggle.
The faculty of Columbia did not, how
ever, add green snake to the menu of his
frogship, and he was forced to content
himself with young and tender specimens
of his own race.
