THE LUXURY OF SORROW.
Too Many Find Joy In seif-cemni

Too Many Find Joy In Self-Com mis.
GRAFTON.
OFTEN are we told that the most self
ish people In the world are those who
are In love. They are so absorbed in
each other that they have no thought
or consideration for others.
But love does not make people as
selfish as does grief. When people are
In sorrow they not only withdraw from
the activities Of the world, but also en-
yelop themselves In such mantle of
misery that to come into contact with
them means to be depressed. There
are, 1t must be acknowledged, excep-
tons to this rule, but they are rare.
Whoever coined the phrase, THE lux
ury of grief" knew human nature pref
ty we'll. People love to nurse their sor-
rows, to luxuriate In them, parade them
for sympathy.
There Is the case Of the Colorado
couple who lost their only child last
spring. The little one WAS 6 years old
and the grief of the parents was ter
rible. Nor did it lessen as the months
went by. The result has been that
both are on the verge of nervous col
lapse, and under the care of physi-
clan. He has prescribed cure which
they are going to try. 1t Is to take up
a rigid course of study. This winteB

$4,000; Stable, $500 Are All Need.
ed BadIy-Sleep in Attcs.
[From Mondays Daily.l

II NuHudy . DahSst
Over a dozen state legislators OF
Nebraska visited the Norfolk insane
hospital during the day for the pur.
pose of recommending an appropria-
ton with an understanding of the in
stitution's needs. DR.. G. A. Young,
the new superintendent, gave to each
of the visitors a typewriter statement
of what he considered needed by the
institution. 1t calls for an appropria-
ton of $S7,500 for new buildings.
DR.. Young states that a new hospi-
tai for the acute female cases is need
ed. This, it is estimated, would cost
100000. 1t would be unlike either the
cottages or the new reconstructed west
wing, but would resemble the wing.
A new cottage for the male chronic
cases is needed, which would cost $780,
900. A new stable capable of caring
large quantity and good quality of
milk may be had. is needed. This
would cost $500.
Sleeping in Attics.
The institution is now so crowded
that dormitories for the female pa
of cottages and there in the garrets
these unfortunates sleep, because the
state has not provided more ROOM
Dining rooms in the cottages are being
made into dormitories, the dining
rooms being sent to the easements and
the heating plants which were in the
cellars are being concentrated into
one main heating plant.
There are at present forty patients
from northern Nebraska in the Lincoln
hospital, who ought to be in Norfolk
because they came originally from this
hospital and were transferred to Lin
coin at the time of the fire. There
never has been enough room here for
the return of those forty patients to
their own hospital. Their families
want them here, that they may visit
them more easily.
The institution now has a capacity
for $50 patients. The natural rate of
increase would bring 40 more above
the sixty to leave, in the next two
years and this, with the forty brought
back from Lincoln, would make 400
by the time the next legislature meets.
Lincoln has asked for a new building
but DR.. Young contends that if the
forty from Lincoln are returned. the
claim of Lincoln for building will be
inValidated.
For Chronic Cases
DR., Young and other insane hospital
authorities are much in favor of bill
providing that each insane hospital in
the state care for its own acute cases,
which would change the Hastings asy-
lum from one for the incurable to one
like that at Lincoln or here.
1t was arranged that the legislators
should meet Norfolk business men and
citizens at the Elk club rooms Monday
night, and it was announced that all
citizens, whether Elks or not, would
be welcome at the reception.
c. A. Randall and r. f. Anderson
were among the legislators here.
The senators here were: Randall,
Dodson, Saunders, Wilcox Land
Commissioner Eaton was also here.

i've mission is to introduce and secure
the passage of two bills. One is n bill

Another bill in which Senator Gibson
