RECOGNIZED RESEMBLANCE.
Father of Smart Young Man Had
Good Reason to Doubt His own
Judgment.

Not long ago a youth residing in the city
of churches had adopted the pompadour
method of combing his hair, and his fa-
ther din't like it. The latter had an idea
that there was only one sensible and manly
way to comb the hair, and that was to part
it on the side-either side. Everything else
was dudsh and affected in his opinion.
Only a woman was privileged to take lib
critics with old established methods, relates
the Chicago Chronicle.

A Chronic Grumhler.

To the large number of stories of tina
"meanest man" which are frequently re
lated, one should be added of a certain
Frenchman, famous for his habit of Erumh
ling at everything and on every occasion.
He was attacked by infammatory rheu,
matism, and was carefully nursed by his
wife, who was very devoted to him, in spite
of his fault-fnding disposition. His suf
fering caused her to burst into tears some
times as she sat at his bedside.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Resolution Before Senate at Time of
 Last Venezuelan Dispute.

LaSC NeueZuSldu OIbpuCcs
 Washington. Dec. 6.-The South and Central American diplomatic representa- tives here are in a state of anxiety over the Venezuelan situation that finds ex- precision in frequent calls at the State De- partment for information. No less than six ministers were among Secretary Hay s visitors today, although this was not dip lomatic reception day.
 Secretary Hay was in conference at the White House for short time with the President today regarding Venezuelan af- fairs. Senator Cullom and Representa- tive Hit, the heads of the two Commit tees on Foreign Affairs of Congress. also saw the President but 1t was stated that little attention was given to Venezuela.
 Among Senators and Representatives who have discussed the Venezuelan aues- ton with the President the situation is regarded as serious. but 1t is generally believed unlikely that the United States will become involved in the controversy.
 The Senate Committee on Foreign Re- lations made a declaration of the Mon roe doctrine when the agitation ever the Schomberg line in VsnOsuela was in- tense. On January a, 1Soo the late Sen ator Davis reported the dOclaratory res olution from these committees. Senator Gray. now Chairman of the Anthracite Strike Commission, announced that the report was not unanimous action of the Committee. The Senate never took any action on any of the reports.
 Senator Davis said the action of the Committee was a notice to foreign na- lions and was sufficiently effective with out any vote of the Senate. The resolu- tion as reported follows:
