Village Boys, in North *England Re­ produce Play That la a» Old a* the Raoe. - P N THE North of England some, of the oldest of our Christmas customs arg still faithfully observed. One of the quaintest la that of the village boys who rail themselves '‘Thq, Mtunmers," At Christmas time they perform a little ,play that is as old as the English race,' ' There are three chic* characters— .St. George, resplendent in silver-pa­ pered armor, and, brandishing a wooden sword i Beelzebub, who Is,"of •course, the famous dragon *r and toe Doctor, who wears a battei-cdJop-hat, At the beginning of the r ’iy it Is announced that the countryside la be­ ing laid waste by Iteoizobab, Various minor characters make an appeal for deliverance from the monster’s sway. Then S t George bursts upon the scene. A fierce battle takes place} In which he slays Beelzebub, but la himself badly wounded. At this point the Doc­ tor rnshf In with a Dottle, which he places to the saint’s Ups. "Tak soom o' mab nlff-naff dahn thy tlit-taff,” he prescribes. So George drinks and Is tiured.' Some of the words used In the play are so old that neither the boys M t the ■majority of the audience can un­ derstand them, ----------- 1 OLD ‘STORY.
