etc, has been cents hundred high
er from Minneapolis to this point

EUROPE WARNS COLOMBIA.
Attempt to Retake Panama Would Be
Futile.

Washington. Dec. 23.-Diplomatic
pressure will be brought to bear upon
Colombia by several European powers
to prevent war between that country
and the United States.
The first step in this direction has
been taken by several foreign powers
through their representatives here
who have informed General Rafael
Reyes of the futility of any attempt
by Colombia to retake Panama. They
declared that it will result only in
precipitating the Bogota government
into wa with the United States and
they have said to him that the result
of such catastrophe Colombia her
self must realize.
II this is not sufficient the repre-
sentatives of these countries at Bo-
gotta will be instructed to inform Pres
ident Marroquin that Colombia can ex-
pect no sympathy from the European
powers in any move she may make on
Panama which inevitably would in
volve her in war with the United
States.

may fail one time in q hundred. When
horse balkS, no matter how bad

do not beat him; don't throw
sand in his ears; don't use rope
on his forelegs or even burn straw un-
der him. Quietly go and pat him on |

even pick up a stone in the street; tell |
the driver to sit still, take his lines. hold |
them quietly, while you lift up either
front foot; give each nail a light tap |
and a good smart tap on the frog; drop |
the foot quickly, and then chirp to him |

will go right on about his business, but |
