Lloyds Bank. ,
Tha bank that has shown the most
remarkable expansion of any bank in
the world du.-lng the last thirty-five
years is Lloyd's Bank of London. This
bank was formed in 1866. 'Within three.
months It absorbed two large private
banking houses. Since then it has ab
sorbed no leas than twenty separate
joint-stock and private banking con
cerns. Lloyds bank has twelve offices in
London, two hundred and sixty coun
try branches and one hundred and
twenty sub-branches and agencies. For
the past Ave years it has paid divi
dends of 18 per cent to its stock
holders, of whom there are aboat
twelve thousand. Lloyds Bank Is now
much the most powerful banking in
stitution In Kngland, with the exception
of the Baak of England.
It was announced (he other day that
arrangements have practically been
completed for the absorption by Lloyds
Bank of the Liverpool District Banking
Company. With the absorption of this
company Lbyds Bank will have depos
its and current account balances
amounting to $360,000,000. This com
pares with $5,$30,000 in 1863. No other
bank in the world shows such a re
markable expansion.

How Grant Came to Smoke.
At a recent army reunion, General
James Grunt Wilson told how it was
that General Grant became such an in
veterate 3moker. He said that after
the Fort Donnelson fight the newspa
pers all over the North were filled with
the story of how the silent Captain
hnd fought tint battle with an un
llghted cigar in his mouth.
"l-p to that time," said General Wil
son. "General Grant never smoked more
than two cigars a day in his life. When
the people of the north found that
their commander evidently liked cigars,
loyal souls from every great northern
city sent in cigars to Grant's head
quarters, until he had piled up in his
tent 20,000 cigars.
"He felt that it wouldn't be polite to
return them or to give them away, so
the only thing to do was to smoke them.
That was the beginning of It,and It end
ed with the smoking of something like
a bunch of cigars every day."
