Among tho curious Christmas pres.
ents OF ths year Will be one for a man
Of natioSal reputation. which has been
all year in the making.
Way last January the present was
decided upon. and a friend OF the prom
inent gentleman requested the Burrello
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 his-
tory OF one year In the life OF this
especial man.
The history ends just after election.
and the 2o.642 newspaper items found
include everything from 4 three line
editorial mention TO full-page illus.
trnted stories. These have been mount
ed on 5000 great sheets OF Irish linen
paper and bound Into three massive
volumes. H
AT the head OF each item is the mama
and date OF paper clipped from. this
Information having been put In with a
book typewriter. The words thus in
serted amount to 1882.
In actual time. a very strict record
OF which has boon kept. tho work has
required sixty-four working days
throughout the year. and has kept in
employment during that time thirty
people, as readers. clippers, sorters,
mounters and binders Every newspa
per OF importance Is represented.
This Is merely specimen OF some OF
me Unique orders which set into tho
Burrelle Bureau. for the extent 10
Whleh clippings are used by individuals
and by business concerns seems to be
remarkable ~
There are many people in private as
