#9 Ruskin!

Dalilah, Buckles, Ben, Barbara, Diamond Jim Parker and Smokey Jones!
I once asked him how he got the nick name "Smokey" and he said he ran away from home, hopped a Freight Train that happened to stop beside the Dailey Bros. Circus lot.
He wandered over and asked for a job and his first answer was "We don't want no Dirty Neck Punks! and he said  "This ain't dirt, it's train smoke!" and he added, "That's what they called me for a while, Thank God it got shortened to "Smokey".
