up IN front oil the nOW-extlnct AWefi-
can bar Each man placed his cork
in front of him on the bar. To the
candidate it was explained that at the
signal "Three." of the Zone two
threew called by the ruling Cork, the
Last man to lift his cork from the bar
was stuck for the drinks"
The signal would be called. The
Jolly Corks, all initiates, would simply
cup their hands over their corks and
leave the corks on the bar. The can
didate. with a swift swoop, always
would be the first man to lift his
cork. He would also be the last man
to lift his cork For he would be the
only man to lift his cork. He bought
the drinks.
One other law the Corks obeyed
Any jolly Cork, meeting another Jolly
Cork, was at liberty to challenge his
brother by producing his own cork
from his pocket. If the challenged
man could not also produce a cork, he
must pay for the drinks. The cham
payne cork became the insignia of the
Order.
Stuart Robson, noted American act
or of that period, was Jolly Cork
and the target of a deep-laid plot. II
was at Robson's wedding. AS the act
or entered the church, he found the
aisle solidly lined with a double rank
of Jolly Corks. At the altar awaited
the minister. The organ was playing
the Wedding March. As Robson start
ed down the aisle, with the future
Mrs. Robson on his arm, every Jolly
Cork, with the precision of an army
officer drawing sword and saluting,
held al6t a new and shining cham
pagne cork in salute.
But Stuart Robson was ready. In
stantly he reached into the tail-pocket
of his dress-coat, produced a cham
pagne cork equally new and shining,
and marched down the aisle, his bride
on his left arm, his cork held aloft in
his right hand. History does not tell
who bought those drinks. But It wasn't
Stuart Robson!
New York's Excise Laws" rigor-
ously enforced in 1867 and 1868, clos
ed all places of public entertainment
on Sunday. The Jolly Corks installed
a piano, keg of beer and box of
sandwiches, in the attic of Mother
Geisman'g boarding house in the the
atrical district, and met there, with
music, songs, stories and mock-courts
at which fines We're imposed for vari-
Gus whimsical "offenses" to provide
sandwiches. Their festivities cost
them their home. Irate at the noise,
Mother" Giesman drove them out.
Then they "hired hall" and form
ed their fraternal order. 1t was near
ly named the "Buffaloes," after the
Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffa-
loes" of England, to which Vivian, the
ruling Cork, belonged. The vote stood
seven to seven, dead-locked on "Buffa-
loes" and "Elks.'
Only a handful recall the name of
w. L. Bowron of New York, today.
Yet it is to him that the "Elks" owe
their name. On the second ballot he
switched his vote from Buffalo" to
Elk" Vivian, in the chair, though
an ardent advocate of "Buffaloes," rat
flied the majority of one, and the Be-
nevolent and Protective Order of Elks
was born.
One other circumstance, little known,
paved the way for the name of "Elks. :"
The committee charged with selecting
name was to meet at Broadway and
Ann Street, New York. Some were
tardy. Others, weary of waiting,
strolled into Barnum's Museum on that
corner, and wandered through the ia

The dawn OIL feDfudis ~, ie--i
marks an anniversary of keen interest
to nearly 1,OOO,OOO American men.
Fifty-four years ago-on February
16, 1S6s-a little group of fourteen
men sat in stuffy room in New YORK
City. Twice they voted on a matter
they had been debating for weeks. On
the second ballot, the now almost-for-
gotten fraternal order of the Jolly
Corks" was disbanded. And the Be-
ncyolent and Protective Order of Elks
was born.
The first membership report in the
archives of the Elks is dated Decem-
ber 27, 1868. New York Lodge No.
/. the Mother Lodge of the Order,
was then its only lodge. There were
rs members on the rolls.
The fifty-fourth anniversary of the
Orders birth shows a membership OF
more than $4,000 Elks in more than
1,4OO lodges that dot the United
States of America. At Anchorage,
Alaska, the farthest north Elk lodge
stands amid almost polar ice and snow.
Elk lodges rise at Brownsville, Texas,
and Key West, Florida farthest
southern points of the continental
United States. Our Canal Zone has
its lodge at Balboa Heights. Our
island possessions are starred with
Elk lodges at Manila in the Philip
pines, at Honolulu and Hilo in Hawaii,
MT Guam, and at San Juan in Porto
Rico. And the Elks of America are
working to initiate their millionsh
member by July, 1922, when the Grand
Lodge meets at Atlantic City.
The founder OF this organization
that is today Americas greatest fra
tcrnal order? He was strolling
English actor? He never lived to
know how well he and his little group
of brother-actors had builded.
His body rests today in Mount Hope
Cemetery, Boston, Massachusetts, be-
meath a great granite boulder bearing
n bronze plate with the inscription:
"Charles Algernon Sidney Vivian.
Founder of the Order of Elks. Died
March 20, 1880. Aged "a years. A
lover of his kind, who founded great
Order and in so doing wrought much
good"
Vivian, who was the presiding Jolly
Cork" at the momentous meeting in
1868 when the fourteen men voted to
organize under the name of "Elks,"
died in Leadville, Colorado, after n
life Of theatrical vicissitudes that rang
ed from touring in affluence at the
head of his own company, to being
stranded penniless in Denver. There
in Leadville his body rested, his grave
marked only by a weather-stained pine
board on which an inscription was
scratched with some sharp instrument,
until on April %, 1889, Boston Lodge
No. 10, B. P. o. Elks, exhumed the
body, took it to Boston, and buried it
there with splendid ceremonial.
