RUM0RS Of CHANGES.
Charles \. Dyer Slated for A. G.
Wells Fat Job.
WELLS 70 60 TO TOPEKA.

For the'past few days, in a quiet
way, rumors of big changes and promo
tons on the coast lines of the Santa
Fe have been in circulation amonE the
local railroad officials and employees.
and one, holder than the others, in
forms The Citizen that A. G. Wells, the
general manager, is slated for II. U.
Charles H. Dyer, for years previous
to going to the Colorado & Southern,
the popular and efficient New Mexico
division superintendent on the Santa
Fe, would be offered the general man
agement of the coast lines.
Whether these rumor are true, or
only hot air" bubbles remains to be
seen, but. in any event, there must be
some real fire where there is so much
smoke, and for that reason The Citizen
reproduces the following item on the
same subject clipped from the Denver
Republican:
THE departure of former General
Superintendent Charles II. Dyer, of the
Colorado Southern for California last
week. accompanied by Mrs. Dyer, on
a health and pleasure trip, was respon.
sible for a that Mr.. Dyer would
resume his connection with the Santa
Fe system. 1t was said that the pres.
ence in this city about that time of
General Manager Nudge. of the Santa
Fe. was for the purpose of comforting
with Mr.. Dyer on this point. This is
denied in Santa Fe circles. 1t was re-
ported that Mr.. Nudge was to succeed
Vice President Kendrick, should the
latter accept the presidency of the
Westinghouse company, that General
Manager A. G. Wells, of the Santa FEES
California lines would replace Mr..
Nudge, and that Mr.. Dyer would get
Mr.. Wells place."

What Is the pif1erence2

waht is the difference between a
mile square and a square mile? This
question has been agitating the gray
matter under the hair of many of our
worthy citizens the past week and yet
the problem looks easy; still you can
get a bet either way. One mathema-
tician has IL that there is no differ
ence between a mile square and a
square mile, but that there is a big
difference between two square miles
and two miles square. Let somebody
whose head Is a dome of thought, and
not entirely a rendezvous for hair,
figure this out. Some of our excellent
school teachers can, no doubt, figure
out the above problem in a brief space
of time. Let's hear from them.

About a dozen or more children were
walking up and down the pavement
some with black on their dresses and
others with handkerchiefs to their

thei: hearts would break. The sight
was such an unusual one that. one OF
the girls was stopped and asked what
was the matter.
"Oh, we're just playing funeral

with great satisfaction ssory that
illustrates well the almost incredible
prowess in egg-laying of his hens,
"Some time ago. he will begin, IAN
egg was left for a nest egg in the place
where my hens lay. This nest egg,
the other day, hatched, and ] have
now one lonely little chick. which sew.
eral dozen mothers care for. Here is
the explanation Of this miracle: My
hens are such steady layers that one
would no sooner get off the nest egg,
having deposited fresh egg beside it.
than another would slip on, and in her
turn lay. Thus by dozens of different
mothers the solitary egg was hatched.
Though no one hen sat or 'clooked'
on it, nevertheless it was kept always
warm, and in due time there stepped

ing cards is an imperial monopoly. In

more liberal supply. Among the card
devotees the Russian soldiers are
conspicuous. They commonly carry
packs in their pockets, but when there
is en- actual call to arms and they pre-
pare themselves for the battlefield
they make it point to get rid of all
