Train Lesson in Civility from a Railroad President
A Western railroad president Peter Warburton forgives a rough taunt toward a lame passenger on a moving train. The conductor suspects the insult, but Warburton defuses the incident by advising kindness to all, regardless of appearance, and keeps the man employed. The tale closes with a moral about judging by deeds, not dress.
