MANY Names for New p,av

THE Gilded Pill,' produced at the
Globe theatre this week, with a fair
amount of approval. has had at least
three names so far. 1t was originally a
dramatization of theauthor, Storer Clous-
ton, who is half American, on his moth
er's side, of his novel, 1.-THE County
Family and was so named Then it was
pure farce, subsequently 1t was worked
over on comedy lines and renamed THE
Gilded Pill'; then Rutland harrington of
Gilbert and Sullivan fame, got hold of It,
and tried it out successfully in the prov
nces under the title OF ways and
Means; and finally it got around to
London under its second name after va
rious tinkerings by various hands. Even
now it is not looked upon by the London
critics as an ideally written comedy but
it fits dear old harrington like a glove,
and apparently is going to do well.

Many children at an early age

DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are

'Some time ago we began using DR..

Kansas City Stock Yards Oct.
3, 1913. Cattle receipts are nine

KING FERDINAND
READY TO RESIGN

Berlin. Nov. 1S.-King Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, who arrived today in Co
burg, is passing through such a crisis.
according to we'll informed circles in
Coburg and Berlin. that his abdication
of the throne in avor Of his son Is
possible and eve probable.
The king is residing incognito at the
palace in Coburg. He spent this morn
ing in prayer at the graves OF his an
c%eStors.
Austrian statesmen are doing their
utmost to discourage his proposed sur
render of the throne, because they
consider the young crown prince, Boris,
likely to be influenced by the element
friendly to Russia.
King Ferdinand. at the same time,
is receiving little encouragement in
Germany. Emperor William and the
German government have expressed
themselves openly as friendly to
Greece. 1t is understood tina when
King Ferdinand expressed a desire to
come to Berlin, he was given an init
nation that such a visit would be use
less.
Ferdinand is the youngest son of the
late Prince Augustus Of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha and was elected prince of Bull
garia on July Z, 1887. He declared him
self king in 1908 and was recognized
by the powers. The Bulgarian legation
here has issued a denial of the reports
that he intends to quit the throne, but
the denial is regarded here as merely
perfunctory.
