THAT is the superintendent of the

Who is the young man with the

He keeps an index showing the
length of time it takes to index the

Who is the girl with the golden

She decides under what index an
index to the index of the filing cabinet
shall be placed
And who is that gray-haired man
at the disordered desk in the cor
