Denison Merchant who Found He Was
American First Of All

The return of Mr.. and Mrs. A. C.
Bale on Saturday last from their six
months trip abroad was a joyful
event for many Denison people, aside
from their immediate relatives. Mr..
Bale appears healthier and stronger
than we have ever seen him before,
The months of rest and the salt sea
breezes have given him eplendid
color and he has gained number of
pounds.
Mr.. Bale sailed last May on the
steamer President Lincoln and landed
at Cherbourg, France. He went inn
mediately to Paris where he spent
number of days. 1t was the most
beautiful city met with in his trav-
els. The we'll kept streets. the
spacious parks. the gardens cf the
Tuilleries. Versailles, the Bois. the
splendid boulevards, the handsome
buildings all combine to make Paris
the city par excellence of all the
world. Mr., Bale was surprised,
too. to find that he quite fell in love
with the French people. In no other
place did he meet with such quick
and kindly courtesy, such glad help
fulness to the stranger and such will
ingness to impart information.
I After Paris his next stop was at
4 Strasburg on the Rhine, the beautiful
city that is French no more. Here
he saw the handsome 'Dom" with its
one finished tower and it's wonderful
clock. At MHnich he met Mrs. Balle
and Miss Sophia who had proceeded
