LOVE-SpOTS OF BLENHEIM
The First Duke Built the Palace
to Be Quiet.
AN HISTORIC COURTING CHAIR

eel of Foolish Plants"

The new Duchess of Marlborough will
reign over a home that is as historic in love
as in annals of statesmen.
Blenheim, in Oxfordshire, was built by
the first Duke of Marlborough as a place
where he and his wife could be at rest
from the world and alone at home to-
gether until death. 1t was called in his
letters, as shown in a volume in the Great
Library. "A Palace of Love" and over
the fireplace in the staircase hall on the
south front there is this inscription:
Il do SO wish there was not one unhappy
creature in the world, for l nave no malice
nor indeed any great ambition, but that OF
being at quiet with you, my lovely duch-
ess."
HER NEW HOME.
Under such auspices as this was Blen-
helm built, nearly 200 years ago, with the
money that Queen Anne granted the great
duke for his services in war. Il build
this house for monument to our posterity,"
wrote the duke to his wife, land it must
be great enough and strong enough for us
all to all time"
1t is to such q home as this that Consul
elo, Duchess of Marlborough, goes. Great
stone walls, ten feet thick at their thin
nest, shut her in from the world, ana
when she walks around the house she Will
have passed around square which is an
eighth of a mile in length on each side.
In the center is large court, in which
horseback airing could easily be taken, and
from the lofty towers view over the whole
country can be had. Blenheim cost many
a fortune, and within its walls have been
penned and spoken many line famous in
history. It's ladies have been remarkable

iHE OLD SPINNING WHEEL.

II used to stand in the kitchen, in c,,-ucr
ChCcry and bright.
Wberc the burning log in the fireplace shot up
glowing fountains of light,
And the cracking flames played hide and seek
with the shadows hid away
In the yawning mouth Of tho chimney, 50 aw-
fully hGSC and gray,
Or lcapCd out on the rod brick hearth and
danced with the shadows There,
While the old wheel kept the best of time in
the frclight's fltful glare.
Singing and spinning
Spinning and singing.
Now fast and faster ii turns,
And tho flames leapcd high
And the shadows danced by
When grandmother used to spin.
The wool on the old brown spindle was Us
snowy as tho snowirifts outside
And seemed as we watched it whirling round
like IA SNOWFALL taknE ride
Then winding the yarn in big round ball, 30
firm and soft and white,
We were almost afraid il would really melt In
the heat OF the open freight
But tossed it about and watched II grow rs
the wheel kept buzzing round,
And laughed and rompcd in the rudy glow
and thought IL the sweetest sound.
Spinning and singing,
Singing and spinning,
Now fast and faster IL turns,
And the flames loapCd high
And the shadows danced by

The mother of Mrs. Anna O'Neil-

a few days ago from Marshalltown,
where she had gone for the purpose of
inducing the authorities to make a
more thorough investigation of the
shooting of her daughter by her hus-
band at Marshalltown several week S
ago. The evidence was not thought
sufficient but the people of lie Claire
will aid her in her endeavor to have
Hall held to the grand jury, as they
are inclined to the belief that the
tragedy was not altogether accidental
as claimed by the coroner's inquest.
The body is to be exhumed and ex-

examination will probably determine
the course to be pursued by the friends
of the dead woman.
