Morton's Poem Earned s1e5,ooo.

N Y. Letter to Chicago Record Herald.
 His heart strings touched by a poem written by President Henry Morton of the Stevens Institute of Technology at Hoboken, Andrew Carnegie loosened the strings of his purse, for 1t was on account of MT. Morton's verses that the philan- thropist gave the money to build the Cargenie laboratory of engineering. cost ing $65,0O0. which is attached to the in- stitute and supplemented his gift with a check for $1O0.000 as the basis for an en- dowment fund for the laboratory.
 President Morton's muse has therefore thsu far earned $165,000 for one production of his pen and thought-the poem entitled "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle Rules the World" For years President Nor ton has been a friend of Mir. Carnegie, and few months after the birth of MT Carnegie's daughter in 1897 he wrote the verses and sent an edition de luxe to MT. and Mrs. Carnegie, who were surprised and pleased at the dedication. At once MT. Carnegie announced the gift of $65,- 900 for the erection of the laboratory. which was completed few days ago, and 1t was the day after the exercises at which MT. Carnegie deeded the building to the institution that the endowment of $lO0,00O was announced.
 There are about 800 words in the poem, and, according to MT. Carnegies rate of remuneration. each word Is worth $333 and as there are seventy lines, the value of each line is $2357.1 IA. At the time Pres ident Morton published the verses only 200 copies were struck off. They repre- sented the best of the printers. book binders and illustrators arts. The edi- tion was sold to select number of per sons for $700, and now each may treasure his purchase as almost priceless.
 MT. Carnegie uttered these words. which, with his financial appreciation of the poem, abundantly show that the man whose fortune has been built of iron be- Iieves that the greatest force lies in gen. tleness.
 Now, the longer I live the more see that the real force. the real power. is not in the nasty word or the strong word. know when I try to write thing that if I am indignant or if am enthusiastic, I use a strong word q do not mean a nautical onc), but when I rub 1t out and put the gentIest word that I can find. have rendered the passage more forcible.''
