GRIM OLD CROMWELL.
The Protector Made Christmas q
 Gloomy and Serious Day.

The Protector Made Christmas n
 Gloomy and Serious Day.
 "Christmas was illegal in Cromwelrs time" said an antiQuary. Those grim old Puritans were so gloomy that they would not have any gayety even on Christmas day.
 Cromwell said that holly and thistle toe were heathenish things. He said that they had no real Christian signiti- canoe; they were part of some pagan festival of the Druids. Accordingly he made law that if you decorated your house with mistletoe at Christmas you got thirty days in jail.
 '"The terrible old fellow forbade Christmas celebrations-no dancing, no singing, no playgoing, no feasting on Christmas day; penalty, thirty days.
 You see, it was his idea that Christ mas was a religious, serious time, a time for churchgoing and prayer and reverence and for nothing else. The innocent family that in CrOmwell'S day sat down to turkey and plum pudding and wound up with Christmas games got a month all round.
 "Only for a time though. The people rebelled Willing as the people had been to put on the gloom of those dreadful old Puritans, they insisted on having a little joy on Christmas day, and Cromwell after year or two had to give in to them. Orleans Times Democrat.

ACCUSED Of SERIOUS CRIME

New York, April 22.-Benedict Gin.
bel, the wealthy Philadelphian mer.
chant who cut his throat and the ar.
teres of his wrists in hotel here
last Saturday soon after being arrested
on serious charge, this morning
died in a local hospital shortly before
3 o'clock.
Mental Strain Prevented Recovery.
That the mental strain under which
Gimbel labored because of his arrest
was one of the important conlS!f T.
tions to his failure to recover from
his wounds, is the opinion of the pays
clans who were in attendance. 1t was
only by the constant use Of stimu'
lants that the patient was kept alive
Sunday the doctors say.
Suicide Waa Insane.
Members of the family had strong
hopes that If Gimbel recovered the
charges against him could be over
come by pleas Of insanity and they
had engaged counsel to fight the case.
1t was planned to send Gimble to an
asylum if they were successful in
court.

Death Ends Brilliant Career.

Death has cut short the brilliant
career of one Of New Mexicos adopted
sons, a young man whose past achieve
ments gave promise of still greater at
tainments in the future. Carl A. Dal-
les no doubt owed much of his sue,
cess to the early home training OF de-
vout parents. He was the son of a
Lutheran clergyman and was born at
Menominee Falls, Wisconsin, on De-
cember 5, 1875. A year after his birth
his parents removed with him to Ra,
cine, Wisconsin, and year later to
Ripon in the same state, where the de-
ceased spent his early youth and at
tended the public schools.
Came to New Mexico in 1893.
At the age Of eighteen, the "Wan.
derlust" seized him and he came to
New Mexico, where he entered the
employ at Belen, Valencia County, OF
his uncle, John Becker the merchant
prince of central New Mexico. 1t was
a splendid business training that Mr..
Dalies received there and when the
John Becker Company established its
large store at the new town OF Will
lard, Torrance County, he was given
the management of all the enterprises
in which his uncle, John Becker was
interested. That he made success
of these enterprises is we'll known. He
was vice-president of the Bank OF Will
lard, stockholder and director in the
Willard Townsite Company and man
ager, director and stockholder of the
John Becker Company and was inter
ested in other enterprises both at
Belen and at Willard
Member Of Legislature Four Terms.
Politically, the career of Mr.. Dalles
was equally conspicuous for it's sue
cess. Reared in the town in which
stood the cradle of Republicanism, ne
was sturdy advocate of the princi-
pies of the party from his boyhood.
When only "a years of age, he was
elected to represent the county or
Valencia in the House of Representa-
tives Of the Thirty-fourth Legislative
Assembly by almost unanimous vote.
The same constituency reelected him
to the same post of honor and useful
ness in the Thirt, fifth and Thirty
sixth Legislative Assemblies. The
last named recognized his talents for
leadership by electing him speaker and
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1907-04-22

he made an exceedingly popular pre-
siding officer. The election of 1906
found him resident of Torrance
County, part of the Eleventh Council
District, composed besides, of Lincoln
and Otero Counties. The Republicans
nominated him for the upper house of
the Legislative Assembly, and the
people endorsed his nomination by a
handsome majority at the polls on
election day, thus bestowing upon him
the highest honor within their gift in
a Territory. While illness prevented
him from taking the leading part in
the deliberations of the Council, that
he would otherwise, yet the mark of
his constructive craftsmanship is very
large upon the Session Laws OF 1901.
1903, 1906 and 1907.
Mr.. Dalies was postmaster Of Will
lard for almost two years and was
frequently honored by his party with
delegateships to important conven-
tionS.
Ever Loyal to His Friends.
The most striking characteristic Of
the deceased was loyalty to his
friends. He could be depended upon
to stand firm by every cause he had
adopted as his own. Of agreeable
presence and charm of manner, he
made friends readily and therefore
those who mourn sincerely his nm
timely death are many.
Survived by Heartbroken Widow
1t was only recently that he led to
the altar a handsome bride and the
cup of his happiness seemed filled to
overnowing, when death, the ruthless
destroyer, compelled the parting that
leaves sorrowing widow to mingle
her grief with that of aged parents
and brothers and sisters.
