The United States reclamation service

desirable birds to live upon the lakes

TRAVELETTE
Windsor.
BY N.KsAH.

| Strange are the things that make
men and cities famous. 1t is no less
peculiar that Windsor, Canada, should
be famous as the home of the creator
of the Yankee type than that this man
should have been an Englishman who
spent large part of his life in Eng
land
Judge Thomas Halliburton was born
in Windsor in 1896. lived in Canada
until about 1856 and then went to
England for the rest of his life. He
is the original and only inventor of
sam Slick of Sliclville. Onion County
Four score years ago Sam Slick the
Clockm:ll5 err was one OF the most pop
ular books in English. and. Sam Slick
is undoubtedly the original of the
Yankee trader type = the shrewd'
slaney, braGgart sort. the common ex-
aggeration of which has done much to
give Europeans a wrong idea of the
American character.
Nevertheless. Sam Slick is the pro-
genitor of Il long line of Yankee heroes
in American literature, and Artemus
Ward called Halliburton the founder OF
the American school of humor
The city of Windsor is commandingly
situated on hill above the wide Avon
river Kings College, vfne-ciao, elm
shaded repository of ancient tones and
traditions. is one of the Oldest and most
picturesque universities in North Amer
lea. though it has but hundred stu
dents.
Windsor has an excellent river har-
Dor which is. however, affected by
some of the most tremendous tides III
the world The Avon river flows into
the Basin of Mines, which is a branch
of the Bay of Fundy. The swift Fundy
tides. rushing into the little basin and
up the narrow river. produce a rise of
from forty to fifty feet at windsor.
Ships that We're at anchor in the even
ing are aground by midnight. and the
wide, moonlit waters are changed by
morning to a red waste where fisher
men gather CLAIMS from the mud.
