"Then, too, our Presidents, who s;rve

Remarkable Christmas
Present *
Among the curious Christmas pres?
ents of this year will bo one for a man
I of national reputation, which has Leen
all year In the making.
Way last January the present was
decided upon, and a friend of Uie prom?
inent gentleman requested the Burrell*
Press Clipping Uureau. o. New York,
to watch every paper In America and
to take ip every Item which appeared
concerning the man.
The clipping bureau people followed
Instructions, and now presont tue his?
tory of one year In the life of this
. especial man.
The history end? Just after election,
? and the 20.642 newspaper Items found
I tu-l?de everything from u tlirec-ltna
! editorial mention to full-page lllus
I trated stones. These have been mount
I ed on 3.2U0 great sheets of Irish linen
paper and bound Into three massive
volumes.
At the head of each Item is tl? name
I and date of paper clipped from, this
\ Information having been put in with a
j book typewriter. The words thus in?
serted amount tu 163,252.
In actual time, a very strict record
! of which has been kept, the work has
[ lequired sixty-four working days
; .hroughout the year, und has kept in
I employment during that tkne thlfty
people, as readers, clippers, sortets,
I mounters and binders. Every news

This Is merely a specimen of some of
the unique orders which get Into the
? Unrrelle Bureau, for the extent to
, which clippings are used by In #*vi?ua .s
' and by business concerns seems to be
j remarkable.
There are many people In private as
well as In public life who need press
