Reason and Instinct.

A certkin north country miner was particularly fond of a clever little dog he possessed. At times he was apt to claim a little too much for his pet, and one morning a neighbor was endeavoring to point out the difference between instinct and reason when an amusing interruption occurred. A seedy looking tramp turned the corner, and the dog, without so much as a word from his master, sprang into the road and Offered battle. 'There you are," laughed the miner as the dog snapped and snarled around the heels of the tramp. “’E don’t like the looks of the chap. That’s instinct.” Suddenly the tramp turned and kicked the dog into an adjacent field. “There you are,” ejaculated the miner’s friend grimly. "The chap don’t like the looks of the dog. An’ that’s reason.” —London Tit-Bits.
