His Deposit and His Faith In
Closed Knickerbocker
Trust Company.
sneciai to The Journal.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The Saterlee-
Parsons committee of depositors of
the Knickerbocker Trust Company
have received many additional as
sents to their reorganization plan
and it is hoped that sufficient num-
Der will be received by tonight to
forestall the application for a perma-
nent receivership for the big financial
institution when the matter comes up
before Justice Clark of the supreme
court in Richmond county tomorrow.
Final action was to have been taken
two weeks ago, but Justice Clark
granted delay in order that the re-
organization committee might com
plete its plans.
Among those who have given their
endorsement to the reorganization
project is s, L. Clemens, mark

in the closed bank, which he naive1y
declares IS a large one for me-" Mr..

The ogre paused just long enough
to put On his seVen-league boots, and
, with roar like thunder, rushed after
the prince.
When the prince had reached the lit
tie stream he could hear the ogre's
steps close behind.
Run, Prince, run! You helped me-
I'll help you now" the stream sang
out, and Immediately it became a
roaring, rushing food. The ogre was
compelled to pause upon the brink and
call up his magic boat before he could
cross. By the time he was across, the
prince was almost out of sight
But the ogre was almost up with
him again. The Prince could feel his
breath Then the broken branch call
ed out: Run, Prince, run! You were
kind to me. I'll help you now" and
straightway thick forest or great
trees sprang UP.
The prince hurried on while the
ogre cut and slashed his way through
the forest.
The prince was almost out OF sight
but the ogre was soon almost up with
him again. Then the rock cried out:
Run, prince, run! You were kind
to me. I'll help you now" A great
mountain arose between them. Before
the ogre could bore his way through
the mountain the prince was entirely
out Of sight. and the ogre had to give
up the chase
Fastening to the palace, Prince Sun
shine gave one drop of the water to
the Princess Beautiful. She opened
her eyes. He gave q second drop, and
she sat up-a third drop, and she was
entirely well.

The wedding was celebrated with
