Santa Claus Visits Train Brings Cheer to Sick Boy
A White Sulphur Springs boy in a Washington hospital awaited Christmas on a Pullman car. Passengers, including a generous porter and a few strangers, emptied stockings with candy and small gifts after the boy, smiling despite a withered leg, whispered his belief that Santa would find him aboard the express. He used a toy ship and a boot gifted at the hospital, and later received pennies, candy, a buffalo nickel, and a tiny peppermint box from fellow travelers. He slept contentedly as the train neared its destination, convinced Santa would visit him even on the run.

It laments old fashioned professions and ways of settling disputes noting a street lamp lighter a traditional doctor who prescribed by the quart and a drug store with a basement dime and loud breath.
