DUNM0W, Eng, Sept. 4.-The
Dunmow fiitches are just two
pieces of bacon, but they make
your heart thrill.
/ saw them hanging, one on
each side o. the judges bench,
during the ancient rites which are
known as proceedings of the
Court of Love.
This Court Of Love Is exactly
the reverse of divorce court.
Ever since the year I'LL, with
few Interruptions, the two fiitches
of bacon have been given to the
two couples of Dunmow who
could prove that for 366 days
they had not quarreled.
This year there were forty cou-
Piles who claimed the bacon. For
weeks the authorities of this
court Investigated the claims of
the couples until they had mar
rowed down the claimants to two
couples.
On the platform, near the
Judge. sat the two couples, Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Smith of Crew
ton. he being a postmaster, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Frank Butch
er, he being a merchant of Tilty.
Near by sat the jury, composed
of six young bachelors and six un-
married girls. 1t will be surpris-
ing If some of the members of the
jury do not pair off before the
next fiiitches are given out.
What makes your wife so
happy, IL she Is as happy as she
says?" demanded the cross ex-
aminer of Smith.
