1898 began like any other year, but what an exciting and eventful year it was for all of us. The Maine was blown up you know early in the year, and war was declared. I believe, anyway, on May 1st Dewey took Manila. As the U.S. had not been at war in the memory of any of us, and as the war didnโt touch any of us very closely, we really enjoyed it. We had little celluloid flag pins of Cuba and the U.S. to wear, and we sang all the really beautiful songs of the time โ I still remember them!

Aunt Liza, who was now our โhelpโ as Maggie had gone to work in a factory for a while, thought it was โCuba Robberโ and always called the kitten that way.) Poor โCube,โ as we sometimes called him! He was a cheerful cat but deformed, for he dragged his hind feet from birth, typical perhaps of Cubaโs early struggles for independence. Unlike Cuba tho, he succumbed to circumstances beyond his control when he was about 10 months old.
