BECK MESSER I Could Not Sleep at Nfeht If I had set a trap of steel; I could not sleep at niffht The pain-crazed eyea of dying things Would shine so fiercely bright. JThere in the dark around my bed Shy creatures I would see With swollen, frozen,bleeding limbs, For mercy begging mei I'd hear the anquishedi frightened cries Of Jittle furry balls 1 M"; Imprisoned, strugglinafsthrough long days While no one heeds. their calls. I'd see small paws, half wisted off And twice their normal size, Being licked with parched and pain-foamed tongue Before my sleepless eyes. I'd see those wild and fr0e-bom things Which should live oi in peace, With glazing eyes lo'ok up at me In pleading for release. If, I had set a trap of steel, I could not sleep at night The pain-crazed eyes of dying things Would shine so fiercely bright.

It is an opportu nity to render a service to homeless children and, at die same time, make an mvestmest in worthy childhood that will pay dividends far beyond all human expectation.

Every citizen of Hie State is admolished to forward the INCOME OF A DAY to the or phanage of his or her chdice. It will be an investment in the mind and heart and soul of an orphan child, or children, witfi all their infi nite capacities for good, or evil, in the world. Respectfully. M. I..
