ROGUEs' MARCH is OLD TUNE
Believed to Have Been Played by the
British Army Earlier Than the
Eighteenth Century.

A very characteristic and lively mill
tary quickstep, which dates from early
In the eighteenth century, is what is
low known as the Rogues' March. The
name was given to it because 1t was
customary to play it when soldier
was expelled or drummed out Of the
English army. This was the penalty
incurred for various crimes, that of
theft being the prevailing offense that
gave the air its especial name Of the
Rogues March. The ceremony that
took place when such an offender was
to be punished is quite ancient, and
consists in the culprit having the but
tons bearing the regimental number
and all other military decorations cut
off his uniform, and then being
marched to the music of drums and
tifes playing the march to the gates of
the barracks and then kicked or
thrust outside. The exact date OF the
Inauguration Of this military punish
ment is not known, but is conjectured
to be older than the eighteenth cen
tury 1t is still in use In the British
army, and the air of the march al.
ways plaved on such occasions has
