Evening Republican, Volume 59, Number 75, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 March 1917 — Elbows. [ARTICLE]

Elbows.

Everybody has elbows and especially famous people, so that occasionally they can rub them with the masses. The elbow is a symbol of democracy and if people hadn’t discovered how to rub them we might still be living In an age of feudifiism. The elbow is very useful and some people who haven’t a brain In their heads elbow their way through life and don’t seem to mind the dlfference. Selencehas: frequently been asked what people would have done if they had no elbows and has explained the baffling question in this way—they would probably have something else just, Eke them. The elbow is a valuable organ, or member, and if you have ah arm to cut off you will need an elbow on it so that toe arm ’can be cut off either above nr below the elbow. Elbows are of all sorts, such as ragged, wrinkled, shiny and. rheumatic. Elbows are well enough In their way, but a great nuisance at quick-lunch counters.
