qA Fascinating Outdoor
Fidioti Serial
One of tbose tales which appeal to the quality in man and
wo.nan that finds stories of human contest with the wild
forcesof nature so enthralling. Possessing a high degree of lit
erary merit it is being hailed ps the modern classic of its type.
£j:,e Grey says:
" The Voice of the Pack' is clean, fine, raw, bold, primitive: and
has a wonderfully haunting quality in the repeated wolf-note."
The New York Times says:
" 'The Voice of the Pack' contains an intimate and detailed knowl
edge of the Oregon woods that makes the novel fascinating. The
s'.ory in the main is a woodman idyl, rich in poetic fancy and
t a robbing with a reverent love for a nature which is unspeakably
wjnuerful both in its majesty and in its all-pervading hospitality."
The Chicago Daily News says: *
"Taken all around. The Voice of the Pack'is the best of the
stories about wild life that has come out in many, many moons."

FROM JOLLY CORKS TO ELKS
FEBRUARY 16, 1922 WAS FIFTY-FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE'
UIRTH OK BENEVOLENT AND PROTECTIVE ORDER OK ELKS.
FOUNDED BY THE JOLLY CORKS IN NEW YORK IN 1H88
ELKDOM, STARTING WITH 7• MEMBERS OF ONE LODGE, NOW .
HAS 818,000 MEMBERS OF 1.-I00 LODGES DOTTING UNITED '
STATES. SEEK MILLIONTH MEMBER THIS YEAR. ONLY ONE |
CHARTER MEMBER SURVIVES.
The dawn of February IS, 5922. j
marked an anniversary of keen in-1
terest to nearly 1,000,000 American
men.
Fifty-four years ago—on Febru
ary 16. ISfiS—a litlJe group of four—
teen men sat in a stuffy room in!
New York city. T wice they voted I
on a matter they hid been debating
for weeks. On the second ballot
the now almost forgotten frinernal
order of the "Jolly Corks" was dis
banded. And the Benovolent and
Protective Order oi Elks was born.
The first membership report in
the archives of the Elks is dated De
cember 2". 1S6S. New York Lodge
No. 1, the Mother Lodge of the Or
der. was then its enly lodge There
were 76 members on the rolls. !
The fifty-fourth anniversary of the
order's birth shows a membershp of
more than 1.400 lodges that dot the
1'nited States of America. At An-1
chorage. Alaska, the farthest north j
Klk lodge stands amid almost polar
Ice and snow. K15t lodges rise at
Brownsville. Texas, and Key Weft.
Florida—farthest southern points :>f

Canal Zone.has its lodge at Balboa
Heights. Our island possessions are
starred with Elk 'odges at Manila
in the Phil ppines. %t Honolulu and
Hilo in Hawaii. *1 Guam, and at
San Juan in Porto Rico. And the
Elks of America are working to ini
tiate their millionth member by
July, 1922, when the Grand l^odge
meets at Atlantic City.
The founder of tills organ ration
that is today America's greatest
fraternal order was Charles V vian
He was a strolling English actor'
Ho never lived to kuow how well ho
and his little group of brother-act
ors had hullded
His body rests !oday in Mount
Hope Cemetery, Boston, Massachu
setts. beneath a great granite bould
er bearing a bronre plate with the
inscription:
"Charles Algerntn Sidney Vivian,
Founder of the Order of Klks Died
March 20. 1SS0. Aged 34 years '
A lover of his kind, who founded a |
great order and in doing so wrought j
much good "
Vivian, who was the presiding
"Jolly Cork" at the momentous
meeting In 1S6S when the fourteen
men voted to organize under the
name of "Elks." died in 1-eadville
Colorado, after a life of theatrical
vicissitudes that ranged from tour
ing in affluence at the head of his
own company, to being stranded
penniless in Denver. There in Load
ville his body rested, his grave
marked only by a weather-stained
pine board on which an inscription
was scratched with some sharp in
strument. until on April 28. 1SS9
Boston Lodge No. 10. B. P 0. Elks
exhumed the body, took it to Bos
ton. and buried it there with splen
did ceremonial.
Only in Elkdom's archives and the
memories of the few surviving "old
timers" is the histjrv of the Jollv
Corks held intact. And only one'
charter member of Elkdom still sur-:
vives. He is "Joe" Norcross of New i
York.
The "Jolly Corks", actor folks all.
met in those days of the '60 s in j
cafes and bar-room* of New York's
theatrical district The "cork trick''
was their initiation ceremony. A
group of Corks would bring In a
candidate, who waj assessed fifty
cents. This was t*ken by Charles
Vivian, and entered in a pocket
memorandum booS. Each "Jolly
Cork" produced a champagne cork
from his pocket.
The bar-keeper supplied the candi
date with a new «ork. The men |
lined up in front of the now-extinct
American bar. Each man placed his
cork in front of him on the bar. To
the candidate it was explained that (
at the signal "Thrte!" of the "One-1
two-three!" called by the ruling
Cork, the last mar. to lift his cork ;
from the bar was "stuck for the I
drinks."
The signal would be called. The j
Jolly Corks, all initiates, would sim-;
ply cup their hands over their corks ]
on the bar. The candidate, with a I
swift swoop, always would be the
tlrst man to lift his cork. He would j
also be the last man to lift his cork |
For he would be the only man to)
lift his cork. He bought the drinks, i
One other law tie Corks obeyed, j
Any Jolly Cork, meeting another |
Jolly Cork, was at liberty to chal
lenge his brother by producing his
own cork from hit pocket. If the
challenged man could not also pro
duce a cork, he n ust pay for theI
drinks. The champagne cork he-j
came the insignia of the order.
Stuart Robson. noted American |
actor of that period, was a Jolly j
Cork and the target of a deep-laid
plot. It was at Robson's wedding
As the actor entertj the church, he
fonnd the aisle sdidly lined with
a double rank of Jc.'ly Corka. At the
altar awaited the n.tnister The or
gan was playing the Wedding March
As Robson started down the aisle,
with the future Mrs Robson on his
arm. every Jolly Ctrk. with the pre
cision of an arm> officer drawing
sword and saluting, held aloft a new'
and shining champagne cork tn sal- j
ute.
But Stuart Robson was ready In-1
stantly he reached into the tall
pocket of hi* drets-coat. produced
a champagne cork »sjually new and
shining, and marched down thej
aisle, his bnde on his left arm. his
cork held alofi In hit right hand
History does not tell who bought
those drinks. But it w-asn'i Stuart

Then they "hired a halt' and
formed their fral jrnal order. It
was nearly named the "Buffaloes."
after the "Royal Antediluviaa Order
of Buffaloes" of England, to which
Vivian, the ruling Cork, belonged.
The vote stood sevtn to seven, dead
locked on "BufTalues" and "Elks,"
Only a handful recall the name
of W. L. Bowron of New York, to
day Yet it is to him that the "Elks"
owe their name. Oj the second bal
lot he switched hi* vote from Buf
falo" to "Elk." Viv.an. in the chair,
though an ardent advocate of "Buf
faloes," ratified the majority of one.
and the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks was born.
One other circumstance, little
known, paved the ».*v for the name
of "Elks." The committee charged
with selecting a nume was to meet
at Broadway and Ann Street, New
York. Some were tardy Others,
weary of waiting, t'.rolled Into Bar
num's Museum on that corner, and
wandered through the famous ani
mal collection.
"Bears" was suggested but dis
carded as animals of few Inviting
traits, coarse, bratal and morose.
"Beavers" were brought up as ex
amples of industrj, but cast aside
as too destructive "Foxes." sug
gested. were voted down as too cun
ning and crafty. K large moose
head attracted attention, but was at
last turned down. Then an elk's
head, with graceful, spreading ant
lers, met with general approval and
divided honors with "Buffaloes."
which Vivian had advocated strong
ly, hut which half the committee
opposed because t'_ ey did wish to
copy the name of an existing order.
From this trip tJ Bamum's Mu
seum the committee went to the
meeting where the name of "Elks"
was chosen.
Since then the «rder has grown
by giant strides. It embraces Am
erican citizens from the humblest to

In 1922, Elkdorj, with gifts to
charity already totalling more than
$20,000,000. stepped out of the role
of purely fraternal organization In
to the rank of one of America's
greatest humanitarian brotherhoods.
William W. Mountains, of Toledo.S
Ohio, Grand Exalted Ruler of the
order, announced lis policy:
"Make every Elk lodge the civic j
and humanitarian center of the com
munity ir. which It stakes its home.'
In Chicago, by Lincoln Park, over
looking lake Michigan, the Elks are
building their *3.000,000 National
Memorial to the ">0,000 Elks who'
served the t'nlted States in the j
World War. and the more than 1.
000 Elks who died In that service.
The building will also house the or
