For Twcnty-EiRht Years and He Didn't
Know 1t.
Many a man has a bee in his bonnet.
but John Gsisler, a Chicago hog brok-
er, Is probably the only man in tho
world who ever lot a real live bee get
in actual touch with the inside Of his
head, says the Chicago Chronicle. IN
til a few days ago a bee had been i'm
b3dded in his left ear for over twenty
eight years, and when it was removed
last week the highly colored insect
was found to be perfectly preserved.
and MI. Geisler, when he saw it, vivid
ly recalled the day Of his youth out on
q Kansas farm when the bee flew In to
entomb itself In the recesses Of his
auricular organ, there to become en-
balmed. While Mr.. Geisler was a
young man working on a farm near
Baldwin City he disturbed a bees nest
and a bee entered his ear. He had the
ear treated by a doctor, and as the
pain did not continue many days he
thought the dead bee must have pass
ed out OF the ear without his knowl-

have trouble with his left ear again,
but the bee incident had happened Sc
long ago that he never onoe thought Of
It. But the ear grew worse. There
was a slight pain near the drum, and
Mr.. Ge.Sior began to realize that his
hearing vas beginning to be affected.
Finally he decided to consult a doc
tor. The doctor made an examination.
He washed the ear, and probed it for
an hour or more, when suddenly he
pulled out a shining thing that had
for all ths world the appearance OF an
insect. "Whet's this? ?" said the opera
tor in aston;shment. Mr.. Geisler look
ed and shook his head In wonder. The
physician looked more closely at his
ind. Why. it's a bee," he said.
Where in the world did you get that
In your carr" Then the whole story,
as related already. came out. MI.
Geisler can hear perfectly now. Noises
that before seemed barely perceptible
now sound like the clashing of GYM
balls. The mummifed bee will be treas
ured in a glass case by the broker
Chicago Chronicle.
