Or: Oronhyatekha has an interesting per-
sscnalty' 1t is something of a novelty to
OF an organization of such magnitude but
members of the order assert that not only
has he been successful in his executive ca
pacity, but that 10 his wisdom and foresight
IS due its rapid growth.
The doctor is full-blooded Indian mem
per OF the Mohawk tribe of the once great
Six Nations confederacy. In his youth he
was selected by his tribe to present an ad-
dress to the prince Of Wales upon the &C.
caSlon Of the latters visit to this country.
The prince was so pleased with the young
Indians intelligence that he invited him to
accompany him upon his return to England
where the prince placed him in charge of
Sir Henry Acland, his physician and maid
the expense of his education at oxford uni
Versity, where he obtained his degree Of
NJ. d. The doctor returned to Canada and
took up the practice Of his profession In
which he was eminenty successful. In 1880
he was elected to supreme chief ranger of
the Foresters, and at once devised a new
scheme of life insurance, new so far as fra
ternal societies were concerned It was the
adoption of a fixed monthly assessment
graded according to age and occupation, in
stead Of the old plan of equal death assess
ments That his idea a good one has been
demonstrated by the fact that the order has
grown since he assumed charge Of it from
small membership to its present propor-
tons, with over 100, 900 members and more
than $2,000000 in the reserve fund
Contrary to the popular belief as to the
doctor is an ardent temperance advocate
and for some years chief officer of the
Good Templars Of the World.
He has commanding presence, is a ready
debater and is gifted with all the native elo-
quence of his race, polished by nineteenth
century civilization. His wife is also a full
OF the historical Capt Brant They and their
children still maintain their tribal relations,
ana occupy beautiful country home upon
the Deseronto reservation near Toronto.
1t was expected that D. D. Aitkin, CON
gresham from Flint Mich, district. and
vice supreme chief ranger, would accompany
pr Or or ron but he was unable to
leave his congressional duties at Washing
ton.
