TIIE REPRESENTATIVE FROM HAMILTON. BY HAZEL GUEEN, EEQ. "In early days old Nat Harrison was. elec ted to the Legislature from this county," said an old fellow, as we. were all seated around the stove, in the little hotel at M'Lecnsboro', Hamilton county, Illinois. "Old Nat was a regular old brick. lie was elected just because there was no one to run against him. Our county was rather bad oil for intelligent people in those days. A few days after old Nat had gone to Springfield, to attend to the duties of his office, 1 happened to be there also, on sQmo business cf a private character, and thinking he would bo glad to hear from the folks at home, 1 concluded to call ou him at the "Prairie House," aad in quired after his health." . ... vl've been well, Tom," said Lc, "but I got awfully scared the first niht I fctaid in this ere darEed place." ;"IIow was that" I inquired. . r"Wcll," said Nat, "I'll tell you r.ll about it. You see that fellow there ; behind the counter the fellers hero call him the boat well,'! lord him I wanted to see my bed, so I'd know where to sleep when I'd come in af ter awhile . He took me up stairs to & -little room, and said I could sleep there, and then he , went down. I took good notice of it brown door, with yaller streaks here and there and a white yearthen lock handle. I star ted down, a thinkiu' about this, aad I would not look at no other door, for fear I'd kinder get 'em mixed in my head, and then forget which was mine. "About twelve o'clock that night I. came in with a kind of half growin' huinmiu ia my hcad; and tho very first thing . I found at the top of the stairs was my own identical door, with the yaller streaks and white lock-handlc-Good.' savs I, and in I lumbers. : I walks up to the bed, and what do you think ? Why, I finds one of your long legged, black whis kered town fellers in it fast asleep.
