A snrn Proof.

| heard story the other day about the
twin steepled St. Anne's church. An
officer in the -th regiment, many year
ago, was in Detroit, and he went out
to one of the jovial Detroit parties
where the cup that cheered and after
ward inebrlated got in its work. 1t was
a fine moonlight night when he turned
his waving steps to the old American,
where the Biddle now stands, and
in passing St. Anne's church he was sp-
palled to notice that it had two steeples
exactly alike. He could not believe that
he was as drunk as all that, but there
were the two steeples before him. When
he got to his rooms he said to his COM
rade:
"Jack, me buy (hic), I'm afraid I'm
drunk. Coming long the other street
passed (hic) church, and do you know,
i almost thought it had two ,hic)
steeples."
"Well," said the other, sit has two
steeples. That's St. Anne's church"
The officer pondered few moments on
this information, and remembering how
1t had been impossible for him to tell
whether the church had or had not the
two steeples as he stood by it, he replied
mournfully; "By George, Jack (nic),
am drunk, sure enough.-[Detroit Free
