Added to these, he has a fine person

at once attracts and wins all who see
him, and when once they stop to lis

lutely irresistible; he has, on more
occasions than one, enrolled hun
dreds of his hearers after single
discourse. He is bold, manly and
frank in his bearing, and broad, lib.
eral and comprehensive in his views.
His record as an "abstainer" is about
as nearly total as any that can be
found, as he has never even tasted
intoxicating liquors Of any kind, as
beverage, or used tobacco in any
form, or drank a cup Of tea or coffee
in his life. Kentucky still claims
him, though Columbia, Mo-, is tenn
porarily his home. He is 3 man Of
robust frame, steady habits and ster.
ling qualities, and has proved lead.
er among leaders, and is withal a
modest, consistent Christian, having
been an acceptable member of the
Baptist Church from his youth up.
When he joined the Order his hair,
which fell in luxuriant curls about
his fine temple and brow, was black
as the cloud which strong drink had
thrown athwart our oountry's sky;
but now, by reason of his abundant
labors and cares in this his chosen
life work, it is whittier than the "silver
lining" Of that now rsceding clound.
In 1873 he was commissioned an aid
on Gov. Leslie's staff, of KY, with
the rank of Colonel. He has never
disappointed the expectations Of
his friends, but in every position, or
promotion, has shown himself capa.
bic, conscientious and reliable, and
The Right Worthy Grand Lodge did
safe and fitting thing when it called
him to assume again the place he had
thrice before so successfully and &C.
ceptably filed.

II. w. GRAND TEMPLAR.


"Good Templar Gem" IN. W we
take the following descriptive sketch
of Col. Hickman, the presiding off.
Ger Of she Right Worthy Grand
Lodge of Good Tcmplars:
Col. Hickman was born in Lex
ington, KY, May 26, 1889. His ia
ther was q brave soldier in the war
of 1912, and an uncle was Governor
of Kentucky four years. At the ear
ly age of 10 he was married to Miss
L. Hollingsworth, a young lady Of
high standing. He engaged in agri'
cultural pursuits in early life, after
wards studying law and medicine,
but was compelled to abandon his
professional pursuits at the com
mencement of the war. After the
war he engaged in fire and life in
surance, and proved to be one Of the
best Of managers, always command
ing a large salary.
On the 18th of May, 1867, he join
ed the Good Templar Order, and at
once became an active and aggressive
worker in the temperance cause.
He was soon after commissioned a
State Deputy and did such valiant
service that, at the next Grand
Lodge session, and the first one he
ever attended (Oct., 1869 he was
elected 6. w, C. IT,, and was the
first msn in Kentucky to quit a lu-
crativs employment to devote his en-
tire time to the work of the Order.
When he first became G. w. @. T.,
the Grand Lodge OF Kentucky, then
but four years old, contained less
than 1900 members, and about 60
working lodges. He held the Office
but three years, yet, when he retired
the Grand Lodge contained nearly
$4,000 members and more than 500
working lodges. In one of these
three years he organized 100 lodges
with chartered membership of over
1000, besides adding thousands to
the membership Of lodges already
existing. This is a record, such as
has never been made by any other
man in tho Order.
He first entered the Right Wor-
thy Grand Lodge at its Oswego, N.
Y, session, in May, 1860, and was
there appointed R. W. G. Marshal.
AT Baltimore he was elected r. w.
G., Counselor, and unanimously re-
elected at the Madisoa session in
May, 1872. He did not attend the
session held in London, 1873, but
was elected r. w. Grand Tcmplar
the following year at Boston. In
1875 he was reelected at Blooming.

Louisville, KY, in'76, during which
last years service he and DR.. Oron-
hyatekha, of Canada, were sent as
Missionaries" to Great Britain,
where they spent several mouths re
organizing the Gssnd Lodges of Eug
land, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and
the Isle Of Man. On his return he
declined re- nomination, and was
succeeded by 7. d. Kanousc who
after two years. faithful service, re.
tired at the recent detroit session
and Col. Hickman was again elected
Right Worthy Grand Templar.
He is the second man who ever en-
joyed the distinction Of being re
