Banks Can Be Held Liable.

Banks holding funds subject to the
state inheritance tax and turning over
the money before the tax has been
paid, can be held liable by the state
for the amount due, declared the at
torney general IN an address to the
State Bar association at Milwaukee
in which he discussed the inheritance
tax. The attorney holds that the
money of persons dying outside the
state, deposited in Wisconsin banks,
must pay an inheritance tax and he
contends that the banks are respon-
sible it they turn the money over to
the heirs and the state fails to get
the tax. The opinion is one o. WIDE
interest to banks of the state and if
an attempt is made to enforce it some
interesting litigation may result.

ORNAMENTS FOR MANTEL.
Staffordshire Ware Leads in Popu
iarity Just Now.

Mantel ornaments of Staffordshire
ware are being collected by women
who like the quaint old-fashioned
figures in which this china comes. A
single piece does not satisfy the aver
age woman. She wants half a dozen
or more, while a lucky winner at
bridge" or one who knows where to
pick up odd bits of this ware will
rejoice In a small army of animals,
fat little boys and rudy checked girls.
1t Is fad to have at least one mantel
in ones country house literally packed
with Staffordshire figures. There will
be cats OF every hue, dogs that are fat
and woolly and dogs that are lean
and spotted, flower girls. boy peddlers,
men, women and horses In this china
ware army, which takes up the whole
mantel itself.
Very little of this Staffordshire ware
is really old. yet occasionally one does
find genuine antique. 1t Is imported.
however, and it is not common enough
to be tiresome as yet. The antique
shops carry pieces of the new as well
as the old, and they are ordering guam
titles more to meet the demand the
new fad has created. For bridge
parties Staffordshire ware Is a great
favorite.
