I, 1903. $1.00 in advance, or $1.25 at end of year BY THE CROSS. •'now there stood bt the cross of jesus his mother" john 16: 25. Described upon tbe sacred page Appears a scene where tempests rage Like waves that foam and toss, Wherein we see the Lord who dies, And then we view with wondering eyes His mother near His cross. The love which made her strong and bold Was precious as the finest gold To which all else is dross: In sight of all His wounds and blood Through all those hours there bravely stood His mother near His cross. The love which watched Him bleed and die Was like the shining seraph's eye Which changes not its gloss: All human love is helped and blest Bv what in her was manifest Who stood beside His cross. While she beheld her son expire Through all her nature raged the fire. Of pain and grief and loss; True help must her example be To all who through the scriptures see His mothei near His cross.

FRANKFORD MERRY, HAPPY BABIES. There is no greater treasure on earth than a healthy, happy, merry baby. Anything therefore that will keep the little one in this condition is a priceless boon to mothers. Mrs. Wm: Bull Maple Creek, N. W. T., tells how she accomplished this end; she says:--"1 am happy to say that Baby's Own Tablets have done my baby girl a world of good. She was badly troubled with constipation and very cross and peevish, but since using the Tablets siie is all right. I give her the Tablets once or twice a week and she is now such a merry, happy little thing that there can be no doubt Baby's Own Tablets are just tho thing for little ones." jjere is a lesson for other mothers who want a safe and certain medicine for the ailments from which their little ones suffer from time to time. These Tablets are sold under a guarantee to contain no opiate or harmful drug, and they are good for all children from the new born babe to the well grown child.

The Street Fair on the 16th and 17th was a decided success considering the fact that the second day was wet in the forenoon which prevented a great many exhibits being shown. There was a good crowd in the afternoon of the second day and everybody seemed to thoroughtly enjoy them-selves. Although practically everything except the concert was free, the committee had money to spare after paying all expences and prizes. Much credit is due to Sam Nesbitt, H. J. Scripture, E.

This is the day of things remarkable, and it is never safe to prophesy as to where the limits of commercial and business enterprise may lie. A few years ago when weekly papers were reduced in subscription price to one dollar per year, many people thought that cheapness while com bined with excellence could no further go. But a more rema-kable thing is now about to happen. On October 1st The Enterprise will make an offer to its subscribers the like of which has never vet been made by any Canadian paper. As a result ot negotiations with the publishers of The Montreal Weekly Herald, and at considerable financial loss, an arrangement has been arrived at whereby it will be possible, for the coming year, to offer the two papers at the extraordinarily low price of One Dollar. When it is remembered tbat the regular subscription price of each paper is one dollar per year, it will be easy to appreciate the sacrifices which have had to be made by each publisher in order to make a joint rate of only one dollar. The price of the two papers will be simply cut in two. As a result, we expect to largely increas the circulation of the Enterprise and it is this expectation that has led us to make this unprecedented offer. As will readily be understood, the offer is open only to those subscribers paying in advance. We have made exclusive arrangements with the publishers of the Herald, and no similar offer can be made by any other journal in this district. Fuller particulars will be given in subsequent Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy fcr the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of I,eucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. «I used four bottles of your ' Favorite Prescription' and one of'Golden Medical Discovery,'" writes Mrs. Elmer D. Shearer, of Mount-hope, Lancaster Co., Pa., "and can say that i am cured of that dreaded disease, uterine trouble. Am in better health than ever before.
