FGSoebly most of the West Poine graGSs
aces know the Seturned bugler Benz, a
German who has been N service at the
academy for the past forty GEARS. and is
therefore known by nearly every officer in
the army, as his position, that of cadet
bugler, has brought him in contact with
nearly every cadet who has been at the
academy during this period. A great many
stories are related OF Benz's experience
with the cadets, among them the following:
When President Grant was cadet at the
academy, learning the art of war, he one
day sent Benz to the store to purchase fiftv
cents worth of cavendish. Benz, however.
in his haste, did not hear correctly. but
thought the order was candies, and accord
iDgiy invested the fifty cents in the tooth
some article. On returning and handing
over his purchase to Grant, the latter
became angry at the ridiculous mistake
and spoke rather sharply to Benz, who. in
turn, feeling his old age insulted. replied.
II don't doubt but what you will be Presj.
dent of the United States # YOU keen IN y,
Grant turned at once to Benz, and lanob-
ingly said: well, Benz, if l do sbaI,
make you my Secretary of War" Douht-
less the cadets who were standing near ~
the time this occurred well remember the
Incident Events have shown, however
that President Grant has failed to fulfii
his promise, and Benz, of course. has al.
ways been too modest to even ask for the
appointment, thinking, no doubt. that hlovv'
ing his own bugle is much better than rnn.
