UNCLE JIMMY ON A Blk E.
Chicago Centenarian Will Try for a
Century Run,

Chicago, June 30.-"Uncle Jimmy"
Lane is learning to ride a bicycle.
That sprightly youngster, who cele-
brated the Tooth anniversary of his birth
last ST. Patrick's day, has been riding a
wheel for the last week, and he can now
mount from the curb.
He lays claim to being the Oldest BIZ
cycle rider in the world. Any pleasant
afternoon he can be seen on Lane place
"a short street on the north side that
is named after him) trying to master his
grandchildren have great sport watch
ing him cavort over the pavement.
When a reporter called at the house
yesterday afternoon Uncle Jimmy''had
brighter and his face roster than ever.
How do / like riding a wheel?' ech-
oed Uncle Jimmy" wiping the perspi-
ration from his brow, I'm crazy about
it. It's the greatest sport I ever had.
1 had a couple of good bumps, though,
the first day or two, but I'm now get
ting SO can manage it all right. What
gear do you ride?"
'Uncle Jimmy laughed heartily at
this little sally and continued:
'FI suppose there's a great many peo-
pie who think Uncle Jimmy has gone
crazy entirely because I'm riding a
wheel. Do you know what I say to
them? 1 tell them it's more fun than
pushing a lawn mower, and when I used
to live over on Lane place there wasn't
a finer kept lawn in Chicago"
80, I'm getting to be quite a sport in
the latter end of my days. Uncle Jim
my" went on, "and don't be surprised
if you see me enter the road race next
year.
MY daughter and I are going out to
