they are guided by the musical taste of the
locality which they propose to "work." Those
who play here at home will choose such melo-
dies as " Mary Green," " Danny by My Side,"
" Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay, " "Kelly's Masquerade
Ball '' and such selections of a lively, sprightly
nature. Those who go to the small towns in
neighboring States are wise enough to know
that '' Marguerite, " " The Heart Bowed Down,''
or " The Blue Bells of Scotland " will take best,
while the grinders who winter in the South are
alive to the fact that " Dixie," " The Arkansaw
Traveler '' and '' That Pretty Yellow Gal '' will
appeal better to the taste and pockets of the
people in that locality. In the modern-fashion-
ed piano organ the mechanism is so arranged
that new cylinders can be put in at any time,
