Tipping the Dean Of St. Paul's.

At the Duke of Wellington's funeral,
O lady having a ticket for a reserved
seat presented herself at the wrong en-
trance to st. Paul's and knocked vigor-
ously. The dean presently opened the
door. pointed out to her the mistake she
had made and indicated the proper en-
trance. She, quite unaware whom she
was addressing and installing him for
one of the under officials, utterly refused
again to face the seething crowd and in
sisted on being conducted to her seat or
she would report him." OF course she
had her way and presently slipped half
a crown into her cicerone palm. Need.
less to say, the dean was delighted and
did not fail TO exhibit his 'tip."-Notes
