~ WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The

tion OF what property may be re-
garded as armament on merchant
ship, If the question is raised.
One of the entente allies, to which
Secretary Lansing suggested disarma-

day, but the nature of the reply or
the name of the government which
made It will not be disclosed until
all of the allies have answered. The
impression prevailed that 1t was not
Great Britain, but probably was
France or Italy.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-with
the apparent quieting down of the
situation in congress, the submarine
crisis shifts back to the negotiations
between Secretary Lansing and
Count Won Bernstorff.
Mr.. Lansing said today there was
no intention of transferring the nego-
tiations to Berlin to be conducted be-
tyeen Ambassador Gerard and the
bI5erlin foreign office, as was inti-
mated in dispatches published
abroad, and reiterated that the State
department had heard nothing more
from Germany on its request for a
declaration that the new submarine
campaign would not be conducted in
violation of previous assurances for
the safety of Americans travelling on
unresisting liners.

From German sources come suggestioni
that the Teutonic governments were IN
spired to issue their new notice by TN

gestion.
From British sources come the positive
statement that the British government

suggestion. but ia consulting its allies,

The idea of permanence In house
construction dates back to a period
which had passed long before the ex-
1stence of the new world was even
Thought of. 1t is very probable that
other considerations were Of govern
ing importance at that time and the
quality Of permanence was obtaiLed
m0re as a matter of necessity than
as matter of desire. The materials
out of which buildings were made in
the early days were the materials
which could be taken from nature and
converted into their final form with
the least possible necessity of any
process being performed upon them
which would resemble what would to-
day be termed manufacturing opera.
Zion. 1t was early found that If stones
having fiat faces were gathered In suffi-
acient quantities they could be piled
one on top Of the other with some
form Of plastic material to fill the
cracks, and the resulting wall could be
built to form an enclosure with a rough
covering Of thatch. animal skins or
even huge slabs of stone. Thus 1t
happened that the natural way was
also a permanent way to construct
houses.
In every age since Its advent into

different sense than 1t originally was
found necessary TO consider it. The

THE SONS OF SORROW.

The most trifling incident may affect
your own destiny and the destiny of
those who come after you. History is
full of stories illustrating this fact,
and none of them is more remarkable
than the story of Charles Samson de
Longval, who sacrificed everything for
love. One day, in the year 1862, he
was thrown from his horse; and as a
direct result of this accident he and
seven of his descendants, for a period
of 200 years, were Stunned of men,
as though they were lepers, bearing
upon them the word ''unclean."
Charles was the descendant Of
once illustrious house. His forbears
were knights and soldiers under the
dukes of Normandy, and had distin-
guished themselves for valor upon div
ers fields. They took part in William
the Conqueror's little basket picnic in
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-09-15

England and might have remained
there in opulenee, but returned to
their own country.
When the fateful accident happened
Charles was lieutenant in the army,
his regiment being stationed at Dleppe.
He was about thirty years of age, and
handsome and prosperous. His life
had been full of adventure, for he had
spent several years in the wilderness
of America. He was of buoyant spir-
It and extremely witty, and therefore
a great favorite with his regiment and
pet of his commanding officer, the
Marquis de Laboissiere. He also
seemed the pet Of fortune, and 1t was
agreed by his comrades that he had a
future.
Then one day he went for horse
back ride, and, just as he left the
town, was thrown to the ground, be-
cause of a broken saddle girth. He
was unconscious for a time, and when
he recovered his senses he was being
carried into a little dark cottage by
a man of giant strength. He was
placed upon a rude couch, and re-
riained there several days before he
was able to leave. He was waited
upon by the man who had carried him
In, and his daughter.
The man seemed bent beneath some
crushing sorrow. His face was bag
gard and lined and his eyes full Of
trouble. He was silent most Of the
time, but now and then he talked to
himself in a wild way, and for hours
together he would pace the floor Of his
little home, and moan and sob like a
nan in agony. The daughter was
beautiful, but as sad as her father.
She never smiled and only spoke when
answering questions She was so beau
tiful and so gentle. and apparently so
afflicted that the young soldier began
by plying her, and ended by loving
her passionately. All this time he
didn't know who his host was, and
when he asked the girl. she only re-
piled. "You will know soon enough"
At last he was able to depart from
the house, and the somber host escort
cd him to the gate. and said: I'VE
have done for you what we could.
Never come to this cottage again, II
you have any friendly feeling for me.
I have seen you gaze admiringly at
my daughter. Forget that she lives. l
would see her in her coffin rather than
see her in love-"
Charles returned to his regiment
and tried to devote all his mind to
HIS duties. but he could not forget the
sad girl IN the cottage. So he went
back there. and had few words with
her; this was followed by other visits
snd his love increased every day. Peo-
ole must have seen him going and

fasf number Of building materials
which are today open for the selec-
zion of the perspective builder have
eliminated the necessity of holding to
some few types of construction, and
when any particular material selection
Is made 1t represents the personal
preference Of the owner, who may be
inclined to judge either from a stand
point Of appearance or utility.
A wise selection of materials will,
however, necessitate the basis Of judy
anent upon a desire for both beauty and
permanence. The home Is usually
considered as something permanent
and must be built to meet this require
ment. This does not imply that every
home should be constructed Of sod
stone masonry, for proper construe-
fioe methods and a reasonable atten-
tion to nalntenance win give wooden
xtructur long life. Some people do
not object to the occasional trouble
Of repainting a frame house and are
Inclined toward this type because Of
fhss possibility which IL offers for treat
Eacnt in various color combinations.
Others prefer the type which. il once
erected, needs no further attention and
can be relied upon to hold its original
appearance for a long period Of years.
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1916-09-15

The "happy medium" is found in a
house built partly of some material
which may be considered as included
in the first class and partly of some
more endurable material which falls
into the second class. Even then the
selection is not a limited one, for there
are many pleasing combinations of the
natural and manufactured stones with
the various forms of wooden material.
A design Is illustrated which may be
placed in the "happy medium" class.
The exterior of this substantial story
aId-a-half home is finished in rough
natural stone up to the tops of the
first floor windows, from which it is
carried up with shingles under the
gables. The chimneys are of brick
capped with rough stone. The broad,
gracefully sloping roof is shlngled. The
rafters have their ends exposed and
the projecting ends of the purlins are
supported by heavy triangular brack.
cts. A large number of windows
break up the wall surface and add to
the general finished appearance Of the
exterior. The useful porch, set back
under the roof, with its solid stone coll
umns, is a pleasant feature. The en-
tire exterior is well balanced and can
be made very beautiful by properly
trailing vines and planting shrubs.
In walking through the various
rooms of the house one is impressed
in much the same manner that obtains
upon viewing the exterior. Good sub
stantial construction Is evident in
every detail. The door leading from
the front porch admits the observer
into q hall from which the stair to
the second floor leads off to the right.
A feature Of this hall is the long seat
built along the wall next to the stair
case. This seat will be found very
convenient and may be built to hold a
large quantity of stored books or
music In Its lower part, thus relieving
the living room or the clutter or this
material.
On the left Of the hall, through a
cased opening, is the large living
room. The fireplace is seen against
the opposite wall upon entering. Ex-
posed timbers in the ceiling finish are
In keeping with the general plan.
Three large and four smaller windows
furnish ample light for this room. At
the rear Of the living room are two
handy tiers of bookcases built into the
distinctive entrance to the dining
room.
This dining room is really a model
Of colonial design. Exposed tlmbers
cut the ceiling up into large and small
panels, furnishing the possibility Of
unique arrangement Of the lighting fix
lures. A large buffet extends across
the entire end wall of the room. Three
easement windows are placed over this
buffet and three more windows of
larger size are set into the other wall.
Double doors are placed In the en-
trance to the living room and to the

hall, and a double-acting door leads to
the kitchen.
The culinary department is made up
of a generous-slzed kitchen, a partcu-
larry handy pantry, and the rear porch,
which may be considered an extra
room during the warm part of the
year. The refrigerator is arranged
to be iced from the outside. Every
convenience is included in the design
Of this part OF the house.
The second ,Aeor is well arranged
and contains several interesting fea-
lures. A large hall is centrally located,
from which all Of the rooms on this
floor, and the stairs to the first floor,
may be reached. Two large bedrooms
are placed on either side of the hall.
Each has a dressing room. two clos
cts and a little nook attached TO il.
A sleeping porch is built at the for
ward end of the hall and the bath is
placed at the rear end of the hall.
These sleeping quarters are capable
of providing perfect comfort for a
lag family.

coming. and they told his relatives.
A cousin of high estate hunted him
up, and said:
'You surely know who the girl is
you are visitingY
II don't even know her name" said
Charles, "but love her with all my
heart"
Come with me-" said the cousin.
end Charles accompanied him to a
large public square, where two Grim
incls were lbout to be executed.
"LOok Il the executioner," said the
cousin.
Charles looked as directed, and of
sudden fell so weak he had to lean on
his cousins shoulder. His host OF the
little dark cottage was the executioner
of Dieppe. Had the cousin been wise,
he'd have said no more, but would
have let the lesson sink in, But he
felt 1t his duty to preach awhile, and
in the course Of his remarks he made
some sighting remarks concerning
Marguerite JOuanne, the executloner's
daughter. Charles strength came back
as promptly as it had deserted him.
His sword flashed in the sun.
'Defend yourself" he cried; "you
are speaking of the lady love?'
Then there was quite duel.
Charles was great swordsman, and
the cousin was in parlous case, when
a friend came to his rescue. Charles
wounded both of them, and sent them
away bleeding and writhing.
The next day when he appeared on
duty all his old friends of the regl-
ment met him with averted faces. His
fellow officers looked all round and
past him, and couldn't see him. No
body responded to his greetings and
people were silent when he asked
questions. He understood 1t all well
enough. His comrades knew that he
was in love with the executioner's
daughter, and he was a parlah. For
many days he endured this ostracism,
and he began to realize what such a
love as his would cost him.
Then the commanding officer sum-
moned him to a conference. The
commanding officer began by telling
him how everybody in the regiment
loved him, and how everybody was af-

course.
'Give up this girl, crush down this
insane infatuatiOn," said the marquis,
land you'll have all your friends again.
AS 1t is, you are disgraciEg the regl-
ment."
Charles drew his sword, and broke
it over his knee.
"Then / belong to the regiment no
longer" answered he. 'I'l tear up my
commission at once"
And he did. That night he went out
to the cottage to ask Marguerite TO
marry him and go to the new world,
where they might begin a new life.
All the visits he had paid were with
out the knowledge of her father. And
now he went to the door on tlptoe, and
knocked gently--a knock she under
stood. There was no answer, and he
stood listening. he heard moaning
sound, that came from the direction of
an old shed back in the garden. He
stole there quietly, and saw that there
was light In the shed. The moaning
continued, soon rising to shrek. He
looked In through crack, and saw
Marguerite strapped on a leather
couch. Her father, his eyes glowing
insanely, was subjecting her to the tor
ture Of the boot. He held aloft a ham,
mer, was crushing her limb.
Confess that You love him." he
was saying.
Then the door flew In as though
struck by a thunderbolt and Charles
was in the room. He knocked the old
nan into a corner and then tore the
engine of torture away from the girl.
The father. half crazed with his men
ial sufferings. had heard that the girl
was planning to elope with an officer.
For the sake of her lover. the girl
denied everything. and he was trying
TO force the truth from her.
Then Charles outlined his plan. but
the girl would not leave her father.
who was worse than alone In the
world. And the father would not con-
sent to her marriage unless Charles
agreed to adopt the old mans grue-
some profession. Charles did not hesi-
tate, and under such strange conditions
he and the girl became engaged. and
were married a few days later.
Alas that such devotion as that Of
Charles should have so poor a rewardt
His young wife died in less than a
year. leaving him son destined for
his bloody trade. Charles thus estab-
ished the Samson family of execution
ers, who were the official headsmen OF
France for two centuries. The last Of
the line was dismissed from Office in
1S4T, when he changed his name and
disappeared, and no man knows what
became Of him.
