The Presidents Desk.

The desk used at tho White House by
the president of the United States is in
teresting in itself. apart from its con-
nection with the ruler of nation, for
it is token of the good will existing
between two peoples. Although occupy
ing so prominent a place in the official
residence of Americas chosen governor,
it is not of American manufacture.
1t was fashioned il England, and was
present from the queen to former
president. 1t was made from the tim
bers of II. NJ. S. Resolute, which was
sent in search of Sir John Franklin in
1852. The ship was caught in the ice
and had to be abandoned. 1t was not
destined to 90 to pieces i'll frozen wa
ters however. An American whaler
discovered and extricated it in 1855,
and it was subsequently purchased and
sent to her majesty by the president
and people of the United States as
token of good will and friendship.
In an English doCkyard tho Resolute
was at last broken up and from her tim
bers a desk was made, which was sent
by her majesty "as memorial Of the
courtesy and loving kindness which die
lated the offer of the gift Of the Reso-.
Lutte
At this desk, itself a representative
of the kindly feeling of both nations,
