Remarkable Christmas
Present.

Among the curious Christmas presents
of this year will be one for a man of ma.
tional reputation, which has been all year
in the making.
Way last January the present was
decided upon, and friend d the promi-
nent gentleman requested the Burrelle
Press Clipping Bureau, OF New York,
to watch every paper in America, and
to take up every item which appeared
concerning the man
The clipping bureau people followed
instructions, and now present the history
OF one. year in the life OF this especial man.
The history ends just after election,
and the 2o,o42. newspaper items found
include everything from threc-lne edi-
torial mention to tull-page Illustrated
stories. These have been mounted on
1900 great sheets OF Irish linen paper
and bound into three massive volumes.
At the head OF each item is the name
and date OF paper clipped from. this in.
formation having been put in with a
book typewriter. The words thus In.
serted amount to 1852.

the unique orders which get into the Bur
