LET HIM TRY HIS OWN MEDICINE.

John Y. Mckanc. the head hot-potter
of Coney Island. has been adjudged
guilty of contempt by Judge Barnard,
and has been sentenced to serve thirty
days In jail and pay II fine OF $3.50. The
fine is the only part of the punishment
that shoul give the Coney Island whip
ought to loom up before him as a bright
and beautiful boon.
We should think 1t must be a mean
and shiftless no-good-on-earth sort Of
jail that couldn't take the shine out OF
Coney Island for homing purposes, par
ticularly in Winter. The Frankfurter
and %tin-plate circles OF Coney-sur-Mer
are. we know, most exclusive: 1t IL hard
to get into them-they do all the get
ting In" themselves; and 1t might be
that John Y. wonld be a little lonesome
for a few days II he was separated from
his observation-disclosures and exquisitely
elite gang. But the atmosphere of the
Kings County Jail is no doubt reminis-
cent enough of lawlessness for the most
exacting Coney Islander. and the Boss
would be all right there after he had
cooled of.
The only jail that would be real down
right condign punishment to John Y.
would be his own. If the thing could bs
so fixed that he would have to stay -
days in the Coney Island ~calaboose, his
reformation would be thorough and per,
manent. Those who have been In II, ga,
that II Is worse than anything Dant,
saw. VIII Judge Barnard please max,
note OF this and see. II We can. that Johr
Y. gets 4 good M lasting dose of hi
own cold and clammy catacombs. !

Sarcasm.

Many women mistakenly fiatter them
selves that their sharpness OF speech is
wit and bfilliancy and admired as such.
The sarcastic woman spares no one In
her, sharp agsressiveness; her words
sting like fractions hornets, and though
she may compel a reluctant admiration
for her mental duickness, she invariably
sacrifices ner real influence and lives a
