lie was accompanied by MeSSrS.
Thompson and Poupeney, of the club,
and just before starting for the ball
game lie remembered that he had seen
an advertisement in the GLOBE in the
morning regarding information con-
corning John Stone Barnes. ''That's
the clever base ball man. Suppose we
go in and call on the mayor regarding
it" Thereupon the party entered the
municipal abode and presented the fol-
lowing:
IF JOHN STONE BARNES, FORMERLY
OF Toronto. Can. will call at the Office OF
the mayor of st. Paul he will receive a letter
from England relating to matters of impor-
lance and of benefit to himself
Carefully Overhauling the mass of
correspondence upon his desk Mayor
Smith selected a linen-bound envelope
bearing the Manchester, England, post
mark and addressed:
Mr.. John Stone Barnes,
Formerly of Toronto Canada,
Care the Worshipful Mayor of St. Paul.

was crossed, thereby making it Stone,
when it should have been Stone, my
uncle's middle name"
After carefully inspecting the envel-
ope Manager Barnes opened it, while
the mayor and the others of the party
grouped themselves curiouSly around
him. No one was more SURPRISED at the
contents of the letter than the recipi-
ent, and he had to read it over twice to
make sure that it was not dream.
Somebody else read this aloud" final
ly remarked John, ito convince me
that l am awake;" and thus saying he
returned the letter to Mayor Smith. AS
he progressed with the narrative of
events the mayors eyes dilated consid-
erably, and it was no wonder, as the fol-
lowing will show:
