# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz

​MAHER-SHALAL-HASH-BAZ. A son of Isaiah. His name, which means speed-spoil, was given by Divine revelation, as a token that the “'child should not have knowledge to cry, my father, and my mother, before the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria."
It is this incident that appears in the Book of Mormon in Nephi's quotations from the writings of Isaiah, (II Nephi, 18:1—4).
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Malachi

​MALACHI. The prophet of the Jews of that name. His prophecies, as contained in the third and fourth chapters of his book, were quoted to the Nephites by Jesus during his ministrations to them. As Malachi lived between two and three hundred years after Lehi left Jerusalem, the Nephites knew nothing of the glorious things that the Father had revealed to him until Jesus repeated them.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Manasseh

​MANASSEH. This name is used in two ways in the Book of Mormon: (1) For the kingdom or people of Israel (II Nephi, 19:21), in a quotation from the writings of Isaiah; and ​(2) for the son of Joseph, in the statement (Alma, 10:3) that Lebi was one of this patriarch's descendants.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Manti

​MANTI. A Nephite military officer of the early days of the Judges. He with three others — Zeram, Amnor and Limher and their men, — were sent out by Alma to watch the Amlicites after their defeat by the Nephites, (B. C. 87). The next day they returned to camp in great trepidation, and reported that the Amlicites had joined an invading host of the Lamanites in the land Minon, and that together they were pushing with great haste towards the city of Zarahemla. Manti is only mentioned in connection with this incident, but it is not improbable that he was sent to settle the south country, and that the land of Manti was named after him.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Manti, Land of

​MANTI, LAND OF. This land was situated contiguous to the wilderness at the head waters of the Sidon (Alma, 16:6), and lay on the line of march generally taken by the armies of the Lamanites when they invaded Zarahemla. Its exact boundaries are not defined; indeed, it is altogether probable that they varied considerably at different periods of Nephite history. However, it is evident that it was the most southerly of all the lands inhabited by the Nephites, in the western half of the South American continent, after they had moved from the land of Nephi.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Mahah

​MAHAH. One of the sons of Jared, apparently the third. It is presumable that he was born in Western Asia, before the people of Jared commenced their migration to America. Like the rest of his father's family, he was a righteous man; and when offered the kingly authority by the people he refused that honor.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Manti, City of

​MANTI, CITY OF. The chief city of the land of Manti. It was situated near the headwaters of the Sidon, and was the most southerly city of importance in that region. Being an outlying settlement of the Nephites, though strongly fortified, it suffered greatly by the invasions of the Lamanites. In the great war, inaugurated by Amalickiah, it was captured by the Lamanites (some time before B. C. 66), and by them converted into an important base for their operations against the Nephites, both east and west.* In B. C. 63, Gid and Teomner, two Nephite generals, recaptured it by stratagem; and Helaman took his Ammonite and other troops there and made it his headquarters. It was not again captured by the Lamanites during that long and disastrous war. In later Lamanite invasions it undoubtedly fell, more than once, into their hands, as it was in the direct line of the course they generally took when entering the Nephite territory.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Manti, Hill

​MANTI, HILL. A hill near the city of Zarahemla, upon which Nehor, the murderer of Gideon, was executed, B. C. 91, (Alma, 1:15).
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Mathoni

​MATHONI. One of the twelve Disciples, called and chosen by Jesus to minister to the Nephites, at the time of his visit to that people (A. C. 34). Mathoni was present near the temple in the land Bountiful, when Jesus appeared, and was baptized by Nephi on the day following. He is not again mentioned by name in the sacred record. His brother Mathonihah was also one of the Nephite Twelve.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Mary

​MARY. The mother of Jesus Christ. She is twice mentioned by name in the prophecies of the ancient Nephite worthies. King Benjamin in prophesying to his people of the coming of the Redeemer (B. C. 125) said, "He shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning, and his mother shall be called Mary." (Mosiah, 3:8.) Alma, the younger, in his preaching to the people of Gideon (B. C. 83) declared that Jesus should "be born of Mary * * * * * she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed, and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God." (Alma, 7:10.) She was also shown to Nephi in a vision (B. C. 600), though not mentioned by him by name. He records: “I beheld the city of Nazareth; and in the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin, and she was exceedingly fair and white." Of this virgin an angel tells him: "The virgin whom thou seest, is the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the flesh." Further on he states: "I looked and beheld the virgin again, bearing a child in her arms. And the angel said unto me, Behold the Lamb of God, vea, even the Son of the Eternal Father!" (I Nephi, 11:13—21).

A History of Kansas.
by Noble L. Prentis, of the “Kansas City Star.”
Published by E. P. Greer, Winfield, Kan. 1899.

## Preface

The attempt has been made, in preparing this volume, to give, within a convenient compass, the most interesting and material occurrences and events in the history of the rise of a great Free State from a wilderness. Harrowing details and discreditable happenings have been purposely omitted.
The story has been told as a record of courage and steadfastness, and increasing devotion to the principles of human freedom and national union.
Events have been arranged, as nearly as possible, in the order of the years, with an occasional arrangement of the years in periods or groups, with no further classification or subdivision.
No attempt has been made to “write down” to the supposed intellectual capacity of children. Students old enough to enter upon the study of the history of an American State, it is believed, will find all the statements and conclusions comprehensible.
​ It is to be hoped that the reader or student will consider this small and necessarily limited history of one State, as a help and introduction to the study of the history of the American Union, which should be the pride and privilege of every American citizen in youth and age.
    Noble L. Prentis.

Fig. 14.—Arabic alphabetic numerals used before the introduction of the Hindu-Arabic numerals.
45. At the time of Mohammed the Arabs had a script which did not differ materially from that of later centuries. The letters of the early Arabic alphabet came to be used as numerals among the Arabs as early as the sixth century of our era. After the time of Mohammed, the conquering Moslem armies coming in contact with Greek culture acquired the Greek numerals. Administrators and military leaders used them. A tax record of the eighth century contains numbers expressed by Arabic letters and also by Greek letters. Figure 14 is a table given by Ruska, exhibiting the Arabic letters and the numerical values which they represent. Taking the symbol for 1,000 twice, on the multiplicative principle, yielded 1,000,000. The Hindu-Arabic ​numerals, with the zero, began to spread among the Arabs in the ninth and tenth centuries, and they slowly displaced the Arabic and Greek numerals.

THE PRESS
The Soldier may forget his sword, The Sailorman the sea, The Mason may forget the Word And the Priest his litany: The maid may forget both jewel and gem, And the bride her wedding-dress— But the Jew shall forget Jerusalem Ere we forget the Press!
Who once hath stood through the loaded hour Ere, roaring like the gale, The Harrild and the Hoe devour Their league-long paper bale, And has lit his pipe in the morning calm That follows the midnight stress— He hath sold his heart to the old Black Art We call the daily Press.
Who once hath dealt in the widest game That all of a man can play, No later love, no larger fame Will lure him long away.
As the war-horse smelleth the battle afar, The entered Soul, no less, He saith: 'Ha! Ha!' where the trumpets are And the thunders of the Press.
Canst thou number the days that we fulfil, Or the Times that we bring forth? Canst thou send the lightnings to do thy will, And cause them reign on earth? Hast thou given a peacock goodly wings To please his foolishness? Sit down at the heart of men and things, Companion of the Press!
The Pope may launch his Interdict, The Union its decree, But the bubble is blown and the bubble is pricked By Us and such as We. Remember the battle and stand aside While Thrones and Powers confess That King over all the children of pride Is the Press—the Press—the Press!

# A Diversity of Creatures/The Song of Seven Cities

Layout 2
THE SONG OF SEVEN CITIES
I was Lord of Cities very sumptuously builded. Seven roaring Cities paid me tribute from afar. Ivory their outposts were—the guardrooms of them gilded, And garrisoned with Amazons invincible in war.
All the world went softly when it walked before my Cities— Neither King nor Army vexed my peoples at their toil. Never horse nor chariot irked or overbore my Cities, Never Mob nor Ruler questioned whence they drew their spoil.
Banded, mailed and arrogant from sunrise unto sunset, Singing while they sacked it, they possessed the land at large. Yet when men would rob them, they resisted, they made onset And pierced the smoke of battle with a thousand-sabred charge!
So they warred and trafficked only yesterday, my Cities. To-day there is no mark or mound of where my Cities stood. For the River rose at midnight and it washed away my Cities. They are evened with Atlantis and the towns before the Flood.
Rain on rain-gorged channels raised the water-levels round them, Freshet backed on freshet swelled and swept their world from sight, Till the emboldened floods linked arms and flashing forward drowned them— Drowned my Seven Cities and their peoples in one night!
Low among the alders lie their derelict foundations, The beams wherein they trusted and the plinths whereon they built— My rulers and their treasure and their unborn populations, Dead, destroyed, aborted, and defiled with mud and silt!
The Daughters of the Palace whom they cherished in my Cities, My silver-tongued Princesses, and the promise of their May— Their bridegrooms of the June-tide—all have perished in my Cities, With the harsh envenomed virgins that can neither love nor play.
I was Lord of Cities—I will build anew my Cities, Seven, set on rocks, above the wrath of any flood. Nor will I rest from search till I have filled anew my Cities With peoples undefeated of the dark, enduring blood.
To the sound of trumpets shall their seed restore my Cities Wealthy and well-weaponed, that once more may I behold All the world go softly when it walks before my Cities, And the horses and the chariots fleeing from them as of old!

THE FABULISTS
When all the world would have a matter hid, Since Truth is seldom friend to any crowd, Men write in fable, as old Æsop did, Jesting at that which none will name aloud. And this they needs must do, or it will fall Unless they please they are not heard at all
When desperate Folly daily laboureth To work confusion upon all we have, When diligent Sloth demandeth Freedom's death, And banded Fear commandeth Honour's grave— Even in that certain hour before the fall Unless men please they are not heard at all.
Needs must all please, yet some not all for need Needs must all toil, yet some not all for gain, But that men taking pleasure may take heed, Whom present toil shall snatch from later pain. Thus some have toiled but their reward was small Since, though they pleased, they were not heard at all.
This was the lock that lay upon our lips, This was the yoke that we have undergone, Denying us all pleasant fellowships As in our time and generation. Our pleasures unpursued age past recall. And for our pains—we are not heard at all.
What man hears aught except the groaning guns? What man heeds aught save what each instant brings? When each man's life all imaged life outruns, What man shall pleasure in imaginings? So it hath fallen, as it was bound to fall, We are not, nor we were not, heard at all.

THE FLOODS
The rain it rains without a stay In the hills above us, in the hills; And presently the floods break way Whose strength is in the hills. The trees they suck from every cloud, The valley brooks they roar aloud— Bank-high for the lowlands, lowlands, Lowlands under the hills!
The first wood down is sere and small, From the hills, the brishings off the hills; And then come by the bats and all We cut last year in the hills; And then the roots we tried to cleave
But found too tough and had to leave— Poking through the lowlands, lowlands, Lowlands under the hills!
The eye shall look, the ear shall hark To the hills, the doings in the hills, And rivers mating in the dark With tokens from the hills.
Now what is weak will surely go, And what is strong must prove it so. Stand fast in the lowlands, lowlands, Lowlands under the hills!
The floods they shall not be afraid— Nor the hills above 'em, nor the hills— Of any fence which man has made Betwixt him and the hills. The waters shall not reckon twice For any work of man's device, But bid it down to the lowlands, lowlands, Lowlands under the hills!
The floods shall sweep corruption clean— By the hills, the blessing of the hills— That more the meadows may be green New-mended from the hills. The crops and cattle shall increase, Nor little children shall not cease— Go—plough the lowlands, lowlands, Lowlands under the hills!
