Crying Baby Marked Exhibit A"

BUFFALO,, n. "a crying baby
was offered in evidence, and after
much argument between opposing
counsel, marked for Identification as
exhibit A. in case that will be de-
cided in the city court here next week.
The action is for $1,000 damages, and
the baby is produced as the principal
evidence for the plaintiff.
Il desire to offer this infant as evil
dence," was the announcement of one
of the attorneys as a woman came
behind the rail bearing a bundle in
her arms. The attorney for the de-
Tense promptly objected. Nobody
ever heard of such proceedings" he
said.
II contend that it is perfectly
proper to have the child marked for
identification" declared the plain
tiff's lawyer.
The argument continued for several
minutes, the baby holding his own In
the noise making. Finally the court
settled the dispute by directing the
stenographer TO mark the exhibit.

London, Dec. 8.-Queen Mary has
never been known to express such en-

Escher. with many other noblswomen OF

TEA DRINKING CRAZE
GRIPS LATIN QUARTER
Oceans of Beverage Consumed by

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Paris, Dec. 2S.-NeYer in the history OF
the Latin quarter have there been such
oceans of tea drunk as during the Christ
mas week. Girls of all nations ceIe-
brated the festive season by drinking
deeply and continuously of the cheerful
cup. Limitless tea for girls Of all nations
was provided by Mrs. Whitney Hoff, OF
Detroit and Paris, and by Mrs. John
Harjes, wife of the venerable banker.
II was to be expected that several thou
sands of American and English girls
would revel in the weeks tea drinking
hut when French. Belgian. Italian,
Portuguese, Russian. Swiss, Spanish,
Ozesch. Austrian. Danish. German, Is
raelite. Swede, Turk, Norwegian. Polish,
Roumanisn, and Armenian girls all took
to tea tippling there was fear that the
oceans would be exhausted.
An interesting note was given this
Gargantuan tea fight by the fact that
the girls from the allied Balkan states
formed a separate and solid phalanN of
tea drinkers. Servian, Bulgarian, Monte
negrin, and Greek girls showed them
selves capable OF consuming as much
tea as their more seasoned and Ameri-
can sisters. Both Mrs. Hoff and Mrs.
Harjes refused to tell the cost Of this,
the biggest tea fight on record.
