WASHINGTON, March 10.-The Secre-
tary of the Navy has recommended to the
President that he exercise executive Gle
nlency in the case of Captain Bowman III.
McCalla, who was reduced several NUM-
bers on the navy list some years ago by
sentence of court-martial, and thus re-
store him to the place he originally oc-
cuoied.
This action has been taken dn view
of Captain ALcCalla's gallant and meri-
torious services during the Spanish war.
and because of the written statement
of all his classmates, who will pc ahected
nv the restoration, that they will be glad
to see him restored.
The offence for which Captain McCalla
was reduced was committed by him about
eight years ago, when, in command OF
the Enterprise. he struck a mutinous
sailor with the fiat of his sword.

TAKE HEART

Though fearful storms have swept In
wrath
About thy toilsone. rugged path
And thou hast oftt.n yeen cast down
And sore dismayed Y Fortunes frown.
Faint not but braVc.r bear thy part,
O fellow man; once nore take heart.
The storm is followed by the calm,
And winter gales by airs of balm.
Dark night gives place to sun-bright day;
Let Hope still cheer thee on thy way,
Beyond the cloud still shines the sun;
Press on until thy work is done.
Perchance thou many times hast failed.
Some weakness over thee prevailed,
And thou hast faltered in the strife
And sadly rued thy blighted life;
Though great thy grief and keen thy
pain
o weary one, take heart again!
Dwell not upon thy mournful past.
Arise, and for thy right stand fast;
Be strong and brave fold not thy hands.
For thee still flows life's golden sands;
To better things sweet voices call
But God in love rules over all.
