that the aforementioned territory has
been offered for sale to the United
States, and that some day it may be-
come one of our possessions.
Well, if it is ever to come into our
hands we want to know something
about it.
Greenland was discovered by the
Norsemen in the year $40. About
hundred years later it was colonized
by Eric the Red, who, to attract to its
shores immigrants from Iceland, gave
it the allurjng name of "Green-land."
Christianity was introduced in Eric's
time by his son Left, converted to that
religion when on a visit to Norway.
The records of the bishops throw a
little light on the history of Green
land from Eric's time down to the mid
die of the fourteenth century, after
which there is a blank for some time.
Greenland was rediscovered in 1885 by
John Davis, who had been sent out by
the British government in search of
northwestpassage twas recolonized
by the Danes in 1921.
Greenland is a big island, "as long as
the United States is wide;'' it lies
northeast of North America, and ex-
tends from latitude 60 degrees north
to latitude SO degrees 80 minutes

SHOW WHITE
HOUSE CHANGES

Washington, Dec. 19.-President and
Mrs Roosevelt gave a dinner at the
white house last night in honor of the
cabinet, to which a large number of
other guests also were invited. 1t was
the first formal evening function at
the white house since it's remodeling
and gave the guests an opportunity to
view the changes made in the interior
of the mansion. The table was set in
the form of a semi-circle and the dec
orations were mainly red or white
roses.
Besides the members of the cabinet
and their ladies the guests included
Senator Frye, president of the senate
protein; Speaker and Mrs. Hender-
son, several leading senators and rep
resentatives and a number of private
citizens and their ladies'. The guests
found many changes had been made.
The greatest object of interest was
the east room, which has been finished
in white enameled wood work, with
Corinthian pilasters and panels. The
old chandeliers were removed and in
their place are others designed in the
form of a cascade Of crystal in loops
and festOons of cut glass, each chan
delier being composed of 1000 pieces.
The red, blue and green parlors have
undergone a complete renovation and
make a rich showing in their respec-
tive COlors.
The main feature of the alteration
noticed as one enters is the removal
of the staircase partition which separ-
ated the yestibule from the long red
corridor back of it, thus making the
whole one large open space and giving
a free space for moving and accommo-
dating crowds which attend evening
receptions The general effect of the
lower portion of the house with the
exception of the state dining room and
parlors is white.
