Already the interest taken by Montana
women In the coming great exposition to be
held at Chicago has borne fruit. Out in
the country about four miles this side of
Canyon Ferry has been found little artist.
She 10 only eight years old. and her name ia
Eva Bennett. This little girl will sit down
with Q pair of scissors in ono hand and
piece of paper in the other. and while
carrying on q conversation, glancing up
from her work az often as at it, with great
rapidly cut most perfect patterns of diff
fersnt animals. When asked for trottine,
running or different positions that horses
take, this little woman will proceed to
furnish them with the utmost sang froid.
While she is able to furnish any animal
asked for, and different style of each
species, such as pug, hound. terrier. ETC.. of
the dog tribe, her inclination lies toward
the horse. She is not only a cutter and
drawer of that noble animal, but also a

Others far older than she fail to subdue the
unframed animal she is perfectly able to
succeed. Eva Bennett has been brought to
Helena and is visiting with friends. Mrs.
meadow has made the little lady's acquain-
tanoe and the question has been discussed
az to whether Miss Bennett will visit Chi
cago at the time Of the Worlds fair and
show to the visitors with what she is en-
dOwed In the way OF natural talent. She ia
a bright little girl. with dark eyes, black
hair and red cheeks. In passing along the
street she may not notice the shop windows
with its bright ~colors, but every horse or
dog seen is commented upon, and she thinks
the bright color of the street car very
pretty" II she lives and has an ouportu-
nifty to attend some of the ine art schools
of our country we may look for a talented
woman when she is older.
One of the principal society events of
the week was the eume of ball played at
the grounds on Thursday afternoon between
a nine composed of the First National
bank men and a picked nine from other
similar establishments of our city. A large
number of interested friends, together
with the proud wives and sweethearts of
the participators in the afternoons enter
tainment. were assembled on the stand and
in carriages to watch the game. Many of
the attendants doubtless had come with the
feeling that if they staid to the finish they
might indulge in a late dinner, hut all
were happily disappointed. There were no
lathe tallylngs' necessary. At first it
was impossible to distinguish the men of
the different sides, as they were not in full
regulation costume. but constant usage OF
the opera glass and more constant plying
of such questions as Who is that man
with coat and vest on?' "Who is wearing
the stiff hat?' 'Who is that man in this
pretty white suit2' ETC., gave the desired
information. II as the men on either side
took the bat they we're fully recognized by

not been occasion (or fnncied such) for dis
sentlon and discussion amonR the players
of the game, but the;e was nothing serious
and no one came to blows. Early in the
game the conclusion was reached that the
First Nationals would win. Whether the
anticipated victory was the result of the
superior playing of that nine or of the en-
thusiasm caused by the young man who 80
proudly carried the banner Of the winning
club around the grounds, perched on the
back of a lively steed. his approach heralded
by the sounding of ttunlpets, il not. and
never will be decided.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reinhold Kleinschmidt
gave q most delightful company on Friday
evening in honor of the young ladies from
San Francisco who are spending the sum
mer in Helena: Miss Mann, sister Of Mrs.
kleinschmidt. and Miss Fielding. Il friend of
that lady. The evening, before refresh
ments, which were served about II O'Clock,
was spent in competition for prizes to be Of
fered to the one placing the necessary ap-
pendaRe to that staid animal, "the donkey"
in the correct position. Messrs. Ihornburg
and Henry Walker we're a tic for the hend
prize, one placing the piecs of paper d.
rectly over that set in place by tho other,
and tho t!lal had to be made the
second time. Each gentleman was
taken twenty feet away from the goal
blindfolded and told to start. Mr.. Walker
placed the pin i'll position four inches from
the correct position. and Mr.. TAornburg
succeeded in winning the prize after gain
ing on the other gentleman two inches.
