 Some men love jewels some men love gold--or other things. My love has been a gun"
 This madness, he said-this infatuation for steel and lead and wder--has cost him 25 years in prison, made him a convict, q fugitive with charge of murder over him. and a paroled prisoner whose freedom might at any mo- ment end.

We had ths warden and captain of guards as hostages with us. With the guards as foils we captured the army house. seized rifles and ammun'. ton, got through the guard lines and away"
 He told how the party was am. pushed by posses. of his sub sequent complete escape. how he came to Portland and finally went to Denver.

NO REFERENCE FARM PROBLEM
 BY PRESIDENT
Brookings Address Devot ed to Education-Evade
 Controversial Matters

BROOKINGS, S. D., Sept 12.- Journeying toward Washington from the Agricultural Northwest, President Coolidge stopped off in this city Saturday, to dedicate the Lincoln Memorial Library at the South Dakota State College with an address devoted almost who'y to education and marked by the absence of any reference to the farm relief fight or any other controversial problem.
 Politicians who had confidently predicted that MT. Coolidge in speaking at an agricultural col lege ceremony would take the op. portunity to outline the farm TO- lief plans of the administration were disappointed, for the Presi tent swung the trend of his speech around toward the spiritual va.ue of education and eulogy of the part played by Abraham Lincoi1 in this direction.
 Cites Practical Side
 "We have been excessively busy seeking for information that could be turned to practical advantage in the matter of dollars and cents, rather than for that wisdom which would guide us through eternity, MT. Coolidge said. "Our high ' educational institutions have turn ed their thoughts especially u tha .sciences. and our secondar..' schools to vocational training How poor and weak and generally ineffective we should be without these advantages can be at once seen by the most casual observa ton of those nations among which they have been neglected.
 "This is by no means all that is to De expected from Americ ln education and American instifu- tions. I can not conceive that the object of Abraham Lincoln was merely to instruct men how to raise more corn, to feed more hogs, to get more money, to buy more land, and so on in the ex- banding circle. as the story goes. Of course. he wanted to teach men to raise more corn, but his main object must have been to raise better men, We come back to the query that is contained m the concentrated wisdom of the ages, What shall it profit a men if he gain the whole world ard lose his own soul?"
