Will Change Name Toronto .Star Two brothers, one living at Kitchensr, the other i;i York County, today changed their nan.es by deads poll issued :it Osgoode Hall, because the name indicates German origin. Keuben Alvin Jucksch, aged 32, artist, buru at Hanover, Grej County, served contir.uously e uriug 43 months in the C.E F. His brother, Mnj .r Arnold Homer Jucksch, aged lift, iiiusician, also born at Hanover, served 25 months in the C.E. F., and rose from the rank of lieutenant ta th«t of Major. They now become R A Jakes i.id Major A. U. Jukes. The rwison for the change i.s that " they liud it to be a handicip both from a lusiiiesi standpoint aad socially by rea.'ion of the ideas and opinions devel- oped in the jiublio by ths war, that their preseiit naaie iiidicices a Genuaii origin.

PORTLAW Sheep Killing Dogs f /NE JE WE'LER Y BateS BurJalCo. Mrs, Win. Fisher and brother, RoVc.t Mouzie, have gone to San.Ioso, Caliiorniii, for on extended visit with their iii.iiher aud other members of the family. Mrs. Albert Blackbiiro, who recently underwent an operation in Collingwocd hospital, 18 reported to bo recovering, and it ia oxpected that she will sovn be a'lle to relurii home. Mrs. W. G. J.imieson returned la.-t week from Toronto, where she visited her sister and numerous friends. Miss E'/hel Winters, who has been visiting friends in Toronto for some Weeks, returned home. Quite a number of farmers commonctd ploughing last weekâ€" au the roads. Tho wonderful cunning of the sheep- killing wriety of dog is well known, and many a valuable dot> has been destroyed because of suspicnm. Circumstantial evidence very often goes a.stray in such cases. One of th- most inerestiiii» illustrations of this that we have teen is told thus iu the Youth's Companion : The farmers of a certain locality could not protect th eir sheep and lambs from do(>B. S everal does that merely had boi;n found in a neighbor's field had been ahot and others were under suspicion. Those who prized their dogs sunrded them jealously. Put iu spite of ail precautions the deprelatiens on the flocks of the neiifhborhood continued. One Sunday morning a farmer, who was .xlso a liy preacher, ivaa prepanng to no to an appointment, when he noticed some tracks Py his alieep pen and hast- ened ti> investigate. It was a brig'it, sharp May morning, and a snowstorm in the night had left an inch or so of snow on the uround. On looking ion his sheep pen he found that dogs had killed f'lur I imbs and had worried tlireo sheep. He hastily called his son aud hired man, and they .started to follow the (racks of the dogs which were very clear. The conditions for trailini; them weie perfect; but the sun was growing wanner and ilie men had t ' make hasto. There were two sets of dotr track- â€" dogs usually run sheep in paiis â€" and they were so freah and c!eir that the lay preacher expected to lind the culprits and then meet hia congregation. The tracks led in almost a straight line to a river bank fully a mile away, where thu dogs had evidently plunged into the wtter to wash away all marks of their ascapade, and the tracks of one dog appeared on the farther bank. Leaving hia hired man to lind the other trail, the farmer and hia son pursued iliis oi'e, which led them to a uesiby house and ham, which iho tracks ciruled and then led away to another farmer's pi ice wneie there wiis a dog that had been under suspicion. " I guess 1 know the dog uow. " .said the farmer's son. But when they oame to the place they found that the di g was chained, >nd that the tracks led an und the barn and uwiiy .igain to another birn, which they circled. The men now had gone fully three miles ftom home. Although the sun was melting the enow, the tracks were s-till Huiie clear ; but the trackers felt 'li i' they mu.>'t make haste. Redoubling their eft'orts, they came to a farm where Ih^ tracks ltd strainht to a barn, and there they found a dog, dripping wet and busily jiawing at his mouth. When the owner ot tha dog wai ("Id their errand he was indignant. A 'iiu, he declared, could not uo so far from home for anythii g When the fariiior and his son told hiiii h w they h?id f I- followed the tracks all the way, be drairged the dog igiiominiously troui i - shelter and ex.iinined it. Its feet sho«til that]|it had been ruiiuing^ over slu>hy tields ; its coat was wiiiii;ing wet ; it nas pintiua as from a long run, and, i»bo\e all, wool was found between its teith The master was so angry that he got a rope, •iiid the three men hanged iho do;; to a cross beam of the baiu riyht liitre. In the meantime the hired n,an had trai-kcd tho other dog, by a different route, to the very iisxt farm. The 't us appiieutly had arrauaed their place of meeting at the riverside, aud on tl eir rjturu had gone to other f.irins, so ihat aiiyono who might track them would lay the blame en other d'g.s. They .b >d committed all their depredations fioiii t.vo tj four mi'es from Ibci.t ewn hoin"s.
