MEN WHO KNOW WASHINGTON
Successful Careers Of Well-Known
Real Estate Dealers.

successful real estate man is creature OF
many sides and facilities-a man of pluck, de-
termination and energy: man of nerve, decis-
ion, and rapid thinking powers, and a man OF
Judgment. But. above sll, he is a prophet. He
lifts aside the veil that guards the future and
sees the coming movements of communities.
calculates years in advance the values that will
accumulate upon vacant property, and then
uses his foresight to the advantage of those
who trust in him and put their faith in the
truth of his prophetic judgments. This COM
bination Is seldom found in @ man, and in the
real estate business, as well as IN any other,
there are failures because the men lack one or
more Of those requisites. But in this city, 1t
would seem, success is by far the rule, and
failure the reverse. and thus it is that The
STAR, after devoting two Saturday issues to the
lives of real estate men. still has enough. fully
up to the mark, to make good showing to-day.
The men whose lives are briefly sketched be-
low deserve more credit than is generally given
to the average dealer and broker in real estate,
for they have had leading parts in the per-
Torrance entitled The Building of Washing
ton" which is not vet concluded by many
scenes. and as such are worthy of high consider
atom.

The force is under the instruction of Lieut..

besides 20 Gov. David b. Hill
The girls belong in the Philadelphia

are separated into four companies and drill

these are To be presently provided. Miss
Bennett, the principal of the school, has in

American women walk very badly accord

that military instruction has been intro
