T.. had better look out how he issues challenges to walking matches unless he is prepared to make good. John Kipp, who confesses to ninety eight, but doesn’t look the part, says that he will walk Snyder for most any old thing and will go out of business if he loses. \ that this shall not count against him. Mr. Kipp lives in this city and insists An experience of sixty years in the town has prepared him for anything that comes along. The climate and water have so agreed with him that he is able to read without glasses and to' walk with out a cane. To amuse himself he keeps house for his sixty-year old son, wjio is beginning to show signs of age. The elder Kipp does most of the cook ing, and when his son is not feeling well washes the dishes, sweeps the floors, makes the beds and splits the kindling wood. If there was anything else to bij done he would buckle in and do it, but he feels satisfied that he is leading a life quite strenuous enough for one of his years. Just now Mr. Kipp is enjoying a little vacation—the first foV nearly a quarter of a century. To keep in trim he is walking from his home to Middletown, N. Y., a distance of sixty miles, to visit a son, whom he has not seen for twenty five years. When he has accomplished this he will take up the challenge of Sny der, which was published in yesterday’s paper. The mere fact that Snyder is twenty-three years younger will not de ter him in the least or cause him to ask for a handicap. -« HENRY KUHL WANTED. He Xa Said to Have With Hint Benjamin’s Watch.
