DESCENDANTS OF POCHoNTAS APPEAR IN THE LOOKOUT.

Those who read Mrs. Ned Richard son McDavid's captivating little oooK, "Pocahontas" will be interested in the treatment of the same subject in diff ferent vein as it Is done in the Lookout which follows the history of the little Indian maid down to our time in gene alogical order. A sketch Is given of the life of Pocahontas, followed with a trac- ing of the descendants to this day and many familiar names are embodied in the story. There are the Bollings, the Ran dolphs, to whom several of our Birming- ham families are related closely; the Flemlngs, also with descendants here, among them the Jordans and the Owens, of whom a representative is Mrs. Ned Me- David. A photograph of her appears in the Pocahontas edition with several oth CTS of prominence, including ex-Gov Thomas Goode Jones. The other families discussed in detail are the Gays, the Eldridges and the Murrays. However, though the subject is capitally treated and in Miss Armstrongs usually correct vein she admits the impracticability of min ute description of the family saying;
 For three generations the Pocahontas line presents no confusion. In the fourth, however, the family begins to spread; in the fifth and sixth it grows to enormous proportions, and at the present time, when the tenth, eleventh and even the twelfth generation from Pocahontas in- habit the earth, the families are too num- erous to mention individually"
 Among the descendants whose photo- graphs appear in illustration of the article are a number of prominent society folk, several tiny tots and few portraits of danes of generations past. Three hand some descendants of Pocahontas are Miss

AN INCIDENT NOT
 ON THE PROGRAMME.

The following clever story appears in the latest issue of the Lookout" that at tractive little magazine published by Zella Armstrong in Chattanooga:
 "A party of Birmingham people who motored here on the day of the auto races on Lookout had an amusing experi- ence just as they came in sight of Chat tanooga They mounted sturdy old Look out in the early afternoon of an ideal day, congratulating themselves on jour ney without accident. At the point where the mountain road turns from the Wauhatchie pike a khalxi-clad soldier of the guard rushed frantically toward them waving wide arms and 8 danger sig nal. The chauffeur, unconscious of any, thing doing" nevertheless obeyed orders so pre-emptorialy and swerved to one side. Just then George DeWitts car tearing up the course, failed to take the turn, shot straight ahead, shaved the Bir- mingham car, and struck a tree full tilt said tree being laden with an odd crop of small boys bent on seeing the racers from a point of vantage.
 "An unexpected shower of surprised youngsters fell in all directions-on the car, in the car and all around the car. Literally as the owner of the Birming- ham machine said, "They fell all over themselves to reach us;" and that was the introduction of MT. and Mrs. Tut wiler and their friends to Chattanooga hospitality"

large district. are still very common in primitive localities.
 Notwithstanding their wonderful com mand of the air, swallows are apparently as much exhausted by long migration as birds of far inferior volitorial powers. During the passage of the Gulf of Mexi- co numbers alight upon every passing vessel, and even fall into the sea- The ordinary speed of the barn swallows has been estimated at a mile a minute, which rate. maintained for few hours, would easily enable them to compass any stretch of water that may lie in their way. We may imagine that the difficulty lies in the inability of swallows to feed up'' before attempting a long flight.
 In ancient times, swallows were the sub ject of many strange tales and fables but were uniformly respected as the winged messengers of spring. It was always thought unlucky to kill them, and sur vival of these superstitions is now some times noticed in remote districts, where the killing of a barn swallow is supposed to cause cows to give bloody milk, and the nesting of these agreeable birds in a barn to protect 1t from lightning. Long may such notions pass current, if they
