REST AND CHANGE
Rest means nothing unless it comes
after hard work; change counts for
nothing when it is merely a shift
from frivolity to folly. From those
whose life is filled with boredom, in
themselves and in one another, much
is heard of plans for dodging ennui,
and defeating the terrible fate of hav-j
ing nothing to do.
Sometimes those who are devoted to !
busy men and women, whether as
friends or in the circle of the family, j
are heard to wish devotedly that they {
who work so hard had less to do. But 1
it will usually be found that those who I
are industrious have formed a congen
ial habit of hard work, love what
they are doing and would be really
miserable if they were separated from
the task and made to twiddle their!
thumbs in idleness.
What a mercy is hard work in time
of sorrow! The work cure for many j
things is just as important as a rest
cure for other things. Work is an op
iate that has no evil after effects.
“Give me work or I shall go crazy,” j
says many a man whose mind is raw ;
and bleeding from a recent bereave
ment.
The busy man's idea of a vacation is
not to water flowers and read the ther
mometer. You must give his roaming,
restless, achieving spirit something to I
to; you must put it in the way of new
ideas to acquire. If you expect him to !
travel, do not expect him to move i
with his eyes shut and all other sens
es inoperative. Wherever he goes he
will be noting a good idea to apply
when he gets home.
The real vacation is not sitting like
a Hubbard squash in a market garden;
it is doing something different. To a
man who carries an inquiring dispo
sition where he goes there are no dull
times. He sees a drama, whether it is
comedy or tragedy, in a railway sta
tion or a trolley car or a steamer. The
greatest writers of tiction are the
clearest observers of fact. Life is just
as beautiful and just as interesting as
we are willing to let it be; and yet
There will always be those to whom
living is a dull thing, because they are
such selfish, silly people, who do not
work and cannot even amuse them
selves.

JOHN NOON
(Juneau Empire)
In the death of John Noon, Alaska
loses one ot her sterling and pictures
que characters. He was truly a pro
duct—a typical pioneer—of th^ west.
Rough and ready in aspect, courage
ous, hard headed, and the soul of out
spoken honesty, he made friends and
kept them.
He was born at Red Bluff, Califor
nia, in a period of romance and adven
ture, when the placer fields of that
country were still in the midst of the
glamour of the ‘‘days of ’49.” From
that time until the end of an active
career he was always on the frontier,
and tried to be where things were be
ginning. During the last quarter of a
century he lived and worked in all
parts of Alaska and in Yukon Terri
tory. Everywhere and to everybody,
he was always the same, genial, gen
erous, energetic, optimistic.
He served two terms in,the Territor
ial Legislature, and there he was the
same John Noon that the prospectors,
miners, and traders found in mining
camp and roadhouse. Honest and fear
less, he made an excellent record.
Rugged honesty and robust virility,
were the distinguishing characteris
tics of this pioneer of the West and
Alaska, who will be seen no more but
whose influence in the North will sur
vive. We have a better country be
cause he lived in it.
