" That Queer, Queer !
r
British Empire.
(Uhicago Herald, Aug. 31.)
"A wonderful wave of enthusiasm
and loyalty is passing over Indra;"
said the Marquis of Crewe, Seero
tary ofState for India, in parlia+-.
neat Friday.
."Native I ndia s will he mit-
x n troops
pioge!1' in the wart,, Europe;" is, in.
substance, the declaration made by
Earl IC.itOnener, p,rniilister:'

The stone story in England, Scot-
land and Ireland and all the Domin-
ions and Colonies
What a queer, queer thing the Brit-
ish Empire is when you come` to
. • think of .1t 1
'In ordinary times. you would nat-
urally judge from the way Ireland
and the Dominions and Colonies talk
about Great 'Britain that the poor
old country didn't have a friend on
earth.
In ordinary times some 'part of the
British Empire is always berating
the, home govermient.
In tittles of peace everybody, foals
at liberty to assume a possible revo-
lution in India ;separation of the
Dominions, and all sorts of other
disastrous things.
In times of peace the Empire is al-
ways more or less "doomed," ac-
cording to statements Of many, gloom
laden British subjects.
But in tiune of war how, suddenly
things lookup in that queer, queer
British Empire.,
"I haven't a thing to take back,"
says Ireland, "hut under the cir-
cumstances kindly show me the en-
emy as soon as possible. I want to
get !at hiss.,,
"Yours of recent date received,"
says Canada. "Ain: sending sten as
fast as they can be gotten ready and
transportation secured.
"Reserving for a more auspicious
hatred partfpopu-
lation
any tat ed a o
our
justifiably bears to England,"
says South -Africa, "we are prepared
to do our utmost in ebbe present
war,"
"Serious local dissatisfaction will
arise, sahib, unless Indians are 4 per-
mitted to "nye theirlives for the
honorable empire, now that it is at
war with a foreign nation," says
India,
It's everywhere the seine story. In
peace it's "Confound yquy stupid,
unreasonable, fat -headed, doomed,
arrogant soul," In time of need it's
Count on us to the limit 1"
Which is why! we say that the Ileit
ish Empire is a queer, queer, institu-
tion

tion !

Only 'One Survivor of the
Devonshire Settlement,
With the' 'passing of Thomas, -
P g , i4lay at
Exeter •there, is now only one sur-
vivos of the original settlers of what
was known as "the Devonshire settle -
Ment. That survivor is Mrs, G. Sans -
well, whose maiden name was Snell.
She is a cousin of the late Thos. May.
Mr. May was born in Devonshire, Eng.
in March, 1829. In 1832 the Balk-
tvil1e, Snells and Mays who were
closely related to each other, left
England, and after a ,journey lasting
three months, came direct to the Hu-
ron district, and William May, to-
gether with his wife 1e,liztvill and his
daughter Betsey, and son Thomas, at
once settled on the farm one and a
half stiles south of :ixeter where Tho-
mas May died over 82 years later.
What was afterwards known as the
Devonshire settlement Was alien a
dense forest; that portion of the
London Road lying in Huron county
was chopped] through tate forest only
the year before. Although only a
child when the country was first set-
tled Mr. 'May, as he grew up
knew the hardships of pioneer life. In
his childhood and as a young roan he
was an adherent of the Church of
England, but under specialecial services
conducted
by Res -.David ria C n gel
Da a L on he
became au to a member of the Methodist
church, of which he was a consistent
member for the rest of his life. Lt
polities he was a staunch Conserva-
tive. Mt. May ever lived up to his
reputation fpr sterling integrity. He
was twice married—his first wife's
maiden a n name g
l e n
r i Priscilla Fisher,
who died over 50 years ago. IIis
second wife was Elizabeth White who
predeceased hint in 1911. Four sons
survive, William F., of Mitchell, Cleo,
of Exeter, Joseph p on'the homestead,
and John of Clinton, and two daugh-
ters, Mrs.. J. G. Jones and Mrs. Hen-
ry Rowe of Exeter.
