Say, boys, I wonder ef that's what Jim Bell's in Blue Creek fur?"

Magoon says, "our great countryman was not unlike Sheridan in natural endowment. "Like him, he was unequaled in impassioned appeals to the general heart of mankind. "He swayed all by his electric fire; charmed the timid, and inspired the weak; subdued the haughty, and enthralled the prejudiced.
I find no data showing with exactness the mileage completed by the Magoon government, which came to an end in January, 1909, but a Cuban official report made at the end of 1910 shows that the combined activities of the respective administrations, Spanish, American, and Cuban, had given the island, at that time, practically a thousand miles of improved highway, distributed throughout the island.
