A, young Intmlsrant boy. dishwasher by
occupation, walked Into Cooper Cnlon one
night, sleepy' and tired, and picked up a
book at random, lie was" a ivory Ignorant
boy; he- had never heard of Shakespeare,

can remember anything they want to.
If I were a minister, I would know

The boy was Felix Berol, today the
greatest "memory man" allvel the dish
washer who twenty years ago knew noth
ing; except that he existed n a rather dull ,
world, today Is the man who has SOo.OOi
facts at his Instant command. The book
was Henry "Georg-e'a "Progress and Pov
erty." the factor In Berol's life that
changed the whole current of his career.
For he found that he couldn't remember
anything he read, so he hunted books on
memory. For seven months after that
first night he ,was kicked around from
the pillar of Cooper Union to the post of
Astor library as a loafer. For some
times, even though ho was Interested
greatly, he would nod over his book;
dishwashing for twelve hours was rather
fatiguing. But he read voraciously on (he
subject that was fascinating his awaken
ing mind. He began to plan a little sys
tem by which he could remember things.
In seven months he was on the vaudeville
stage as "Berol, the Mental Marvel, with
6.000 Foots In Ills Head."
Mr. Berol smiles deprectlngly now at
that paltry store of Information, for to
day there are sixty times 6,000. Yet he
mttlgatcn the deprecation by asking,
"What do you know? What knowledge
has the ordinary man outside his bus!
noss? How much of ,yqur college educa
tion have you retained? Then ho reels off
the history of the war of the Spanish suc
cession or gives. In full the construction !
of the dlgestVve system.
. Practical System.
How did he do It? What Is his secret?
The system Is one of "hooks" and
"slips." all very mysterious to the un
initiated, but quite dimple and practical
to the men. who knows. Every single
fact to bo acquired Is written down on
a stlp of paper, on the other side of
which Is, the "hook," or suggestive Idea.
The student, by repeat el reference to
these slips, soon learns the "hook," and
threby, of course, Instantly can recall
the associated fact
"We use the principle of assimila
tion," said Mr. Berol recently, "when
wo find. Imagine, or matte a.' word, which
Ib easier for us to remember than the
word -wo are. trying to remember. Those
assimilations are called handphones. As
names of persons, for Instance, generally
mean little or nothing to us, they are
hard to remembej. By assimilating; those
bard-to-remember words into words
which mean something to us, which
therefore are easily remembered, we will
be able to recall the names of people,
without difficulty. A little practice soon
will enable ua to find homophones to
fit any name which wo may encounter.
There Is no name, however strange, for
which a homophune ma not be fouVid.
"The homophone . easily may be asso
ciated with something1 about the person's
features, business peculiarities. There
are several kinds of associations, that of
similarity, of contrast, of succession; of
contiguity;' It depends entirely upon your
power of Imagination. For Instance, take
that portly woman yonder. The most
striking; thing about her Is that she Is
fat. We find .that her name Is Fry.
See, how easy that Is. There Is a tailor
named Nutting. Assimilation: Nutting
nothing. Association: It Is very seldom
that one can get a good suit for nothing.
Association Is Eaaeatlal.
"Memory never starts on Us own- ac
count: association Is absolutely essen
tial. Although memories are by no
reasoning- power, they constitute an Im
portant part of the act of remember
ing." Just by way of experiment a few
questions were put to Mr. Merol.
"When was Mendelssohn bornT' asked
the reporter.
"On the third of February, 180," came
the Instant reply.
"How long is the Rlvsr JordanT"
' extends sixty miles, though It
really ls 200 miles In length."
"What Is the population of Ceylon?
"Four hundred and thirty-eight thou
sand four hundred and flfty-slx, with
an area of 25,100 square miles."
"Who Invented the sewing midline?""
"Ellas Howe. He exhibited the ma
chine first on September 10, 1S."
"What town are you trom?" asked'
Mr. Berol, turning questioner himself.
"Illchmond, Ind. Can you give ' me
population?"
"Twenty-two thousand three hundred
and twenty-foir."
"I knew It Was somewhere around
83,000," replied th reporter.
"Which approximate knowledge Is my
reason for conducting a memory
course," said Mr. Berol.
In teaching his class at the Young
Men's Christian association, Mr. Herol
gives a little talk.
"It Is to easy to be exact," he says,
"and so few people are. Now it really
Is what counts. Read them every spare
moment, review thqm''pach week, 'and
I meantime keep adding new facts to your
store."
Knar to Remrtaber "Hook."
Mr Berol explains' that the hook Is al
ways the simplest thing about the tact,
and' that remembering It requires no ef
fort. That the fat woman is fat hits you
In the face; that her name Is Fry Is not
so obvious.' Furthermore, you are positive
that her name la Fry after you have onco
learned It. Mr. Berol's system Is one by
which a man can recall In an orderly
way, facts which come to other people
by chance If at all.
"I quit the vaudeville stage a year
ago," said Mr. Berol, "because I did not
like to show oft as well as I like to show
how "
During an engagement In Chicago, just
a year ago, Mr. Berol was attending a
trial In which tlie decision hinged upon
the population of two cities, namely,
Bprlrurfleld and Peoria, 111. Proceedings
halted, books were lugged out', and au
thorities called upon. Nobody knew. Tho
court was about to bo dlsinlsscdwhen a
slip of paper wan handed to the Judge.
Upon It was written the exhet population
of each city. After the Atrial the Judge
called for the man who had supplied tho
Information.
"Are you a freak, or dtd'.you Just hap
pen to know the . population1' of. those
cities?"
-I have a'.liftnrerj' system," replied thtr
vaudevllle entertainer.
"Can you teach It to otHera?"
"lean."
As a result, Mr. BerotVbegan the In
struction of a class of Chicago assistant
district attorneys, and achieved eudh suc
cess that he later tool? class 'of S00
medical students. ,
"Your possibilities are unlimited," Mr.
Berol tells his classes '.'if yqu have an
accurate memory. But, though I can
teach you to train ;your ;nemory, the
mainspring of successes In yourself. You
must keep alert andori the watcji. Head
your Emerson on self-reliance, study
your slips. Improve your spare moments,
and then see If you're not happier niien."

WORKING GIRL'S LONELY LIFE
Move for Betterment of Those With
out the Protection of
Home,
In almost every larKo tlty In Ihlii cpim
try ars organised efforts In which women
generally take the lead (a service that
can not bo too fervently acknowledged)
tp take care In many ways of the great
mass of young women wh,p i)ust work
for a living. Bomo of these have real
homes; some, homes only in name- with.
no homo care; some the hall bedroom,
and eat as you please; all on wages that
come near the minimum. It .la needless
to say that the temptations and hard
ships of such a life are great. Among tho
greatest la that ot loneliness and lack of
safeguard In the enjoyment of amuse
ments or recreation, which Is Implanted
In every healthy human being. The race
would go mad without it and many of
these poor girls do go mad In an awful
sense from this very lack. Bo tljere la
no more Important work that any city
can undertake than to provide rational
amusement for the mass of young women
who are fighting the battle of life alone.
Tho constant crimes committed against
women, the purso snatching and far
worse, like the murder of that Chicago
nursa who answered an advertisement
alone after night at a place out on the
pralrla edge of the city, counsel us that
women should begin to toko care of
themselves as the women of Europe do.
and that there shall come In a. general
manner or custom of chaperonage. The
streets of any city in broad daylight with
young girls roaming at will alone and
courting a 'publicity that Is unwholesome
ought to suggest fresh work from the
many agencies that make for good in
this time of great development of our so
cial Ufo. But of all the greatest Is that
provision for those that are thrown on
their own resources.
A girls' protective league In Detroit Is
at work to drive drink from any connec
tion' w)th public dance halls. That alone
would do away with many worso evils
that go with Uiem, for a dance hall where
no drink Is accessible and where proper
conduct Is Insured by chaperonage has
no attraction for men whose contact Is
evil. DetTott, like many other cities. Is
going to secure for young girls proper
places for public dancing. Such ought to
be the work of good people in every city.
No one needs help In so many ways as
the girl who works for her living and In
nothing does she need It more than in
protection- in amusements and recreation
aa an offset for the horrible loneliness
that besets her life every day, when she
Is not bound up with toll. There Is no
nobler field for high endeavor than this.
