Has Haunted House.

houses may be all right In novels, but
when they pop up in real life they arc
apt to be bit of a bore. One Of the
prettiest bungalows in the Pasadena

being haunted. Tenants said the spirit
of DR.. Mills, spiritualist. who pertshed
in the Titanic disaster. kept them awake

THE LIFE OF LORD ROBERTS. X. e..
". c. 1sy Sir George Forrest. c. /. f.
illustrated. New York: Frederick
A Stokes Company.
Sir George FORESTS life of Lord Rob-
erts partakes in large measure of the
nature of autobiography. The single
purpose of the work is, obviously, to
reproduce the full body of essential
and significant fact that made up the
long and memorable career of this
great soldier. And more than this. the
object is to reproduce it, in SO far as
this is possible. from unassailable
first-hand sources of information. To
this end free use is made of the wal
dispatches and reports from Lord Rob-
erts at the front to the home govern
ment. And besides these there are many
extracts from his addresses and in
structions on military subjects. O...cial
documents OF one or another pertinent
sort, and personal intercourse between
this author and Lord Roberts. his
close associates. stand as the substan-
