THE HESPERIAN STUDENT.
"Swift of foot was Hiawatha;
Ho (outil shool nn arrow from him,
Ami run forward with such llootnce.
That the nrrow loll behind hunt
Strong of arm was Hlawalm;
lie could phoot ten arrows upward,
Shoot them with Mich strength nnd swiftness
That the tenth had left the liowttlnu
Kru the first to enrtli had fallen !
Tlit'it Prof. Little desired llio class to
tiscertuin if it would be infc to bet the
odds on Hiawatha at the Derby. The
class held a mournful consultation out in
the hall alter ict'itntion.
"It's very blind," said the short girl.
" It's a slicker," said the short girl.
" What would Longfellow say?" qttcr.
ied the mild-eyed youth.
" I don't know, but I think I can do
it," exclaimed the infant prodigy with his
eyes on the ground.
"It's an n-nurrow problem," remarked
the boy who never could do anything but
make a poor pun, and the class meeting
broke up on the spot.
Sure enough, of couise, as everybody
expected, the infant prodigy gravely put
tiio figures on the blackboard the next
morning, and showed the class that Long
fellow had slightly exngeiated his hero's
powers, for it would be necessary for Ilia
wntliu to run a mile in forty.six seconds
if he performed the feat ascribed lo him.
The usual lime of horses in the Derby is
1:60.
