ANNIE OAKLEY.

This celebrated Girl Shot was born at Woodland, Ohio. Ever since a toddling child
she has had an inherent love for fire-arms and hunting, and at the age of ten she, as often as ammunition was obtainable, would smuggle her brother's musket and steal into the woods where game at that time was plentiful. Naturally, she was a good shot, and came home well supplied with game. At the age of twelve she was presented with a light, muzzle-loading shotgun, and also a breech-loading rifle. With the shot-gun she improved rapidly, and became such a fine shot that she rarely missed a quail or pheasant, and at the age of fourteen she had paid off a mortgage on her mother's homestead with money earned from the game and skins shot and trapped by herself alone-- while her aim with rifle was so true that she was debarred from entering in the turkey matches which were the popular holiday amusement in that part of the country.
